An artificial mound in White County, Georgia, rises above Sautee and Soquee creeks as a landmark tied to Cherokee history. The site sits near Mount Yonah and was studied after extensive fieldwork in 1915, revealing a complex composition of burials, earthwork, and cultural layers.
The mound was built from soil from nearby fields and stood about 17 feet high, with a summit area that was partially altered over time. Excavations documented numerous inhumations arrayed in earthen graves, often with heads oriented toward the east, as well as several stone and earth features that hint at activity on the mound’s surface and interior. The work also uncovered a variety of artifacts and remnants that offer a window into past life and burial practices, along with notes on the mound’s later changes.
Ideal for readers curious about local archaeology, Cherokee history, and the way ancient sites reveal daily life and rituals.
