Шаблон:Infobox ancient site Flowery Mound is an archaeological site in Tensas Parish, Louisiana with components from the Late Coles Creek and Plaquemine-Mississippian culture which dates from approximately 950–1541.[1]

Description

The site is located on Andrews Bayou. The mound itself is a very well preserved platform mound measuring Шаблон:Convert in height and Шаблон:Convert by Шаблон:Convert at its base and a summit measuring Шаблон:Convert square. Core samples taken during investigations at the site have revealed the mound was built in a single stage and because the fill types can still be differentiated it suggests the mound is relatively young. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal found in a midden under the mound reveals that the site was occupied from 996–1162 during the Coles Creek period. The mound was built over the midden between 1200–1541 during the Plaquemine/Mississippian period. This was further confirmed by stylistic analysis of pottery found at the site.[1]
