Pinson Mounds is a massive prehistoric complex located in Madison County, Tennessee. This complex boasts an impressive 13 mounds and an astonishing 3,500 linear feet of earthen geometric enclosure, four short-term ritual-activity areas, and numerous habitations sites. The site was probably occupied between 100 BC and AD 350, offering a prime example of Hopewell-derived mortuary mound ceremonialism that characterized the Middle Woodland period in North American prehistory. Pottery found at the site features Swift Creek designs, likely crafted using paddles made further east (in Georgia or Florida) before being locally used to create pots.
