Mound Summit Archaeology at the Carson site, Coahoma County, Mississippi
Author(s): David Abbott; Jayur Mehta
Year: 2015
Summary
In 2014, the Carson Mounds Archaeological Project (CMAP) excavated a structure on the summit of Mound D. In addition to a cache of Mississippian chisels, or woodworking tools, excavations revealed several rebuilding episodes associated with this structure. Furthermore, a well-fired and compact earthen floor was discovered underneath the daub fall. This presentation focuses on excavations and findings, radiocarbon dates from the structure and Mound D, and also includes a discussion on thin-section analysis of the structure floor.
