Physical Description
General Note
This is the largest (a temple mound), 30-35 feet, of seven mounds. W.F. Fletcher Jr. and J. Clarence Simpson are pictured.
Lake Jackson Mounds were a Mississippian-period (c. 1100AD ? 1500AD) ceremonial mound complex built by ancestors of the Apalachee peoples. Comprised on seven mounds (four of which were drastically altered in the latter half of the 20th Century), the mounds were extensively researched and excavated. The 204-acres area was acquired on 2 May 1966 by the Florida Park Service. The main use area was comprised of the main mound, pictured here, one smaller mound, and the original plaza.
