Pinson, TN
Pinson Mounds, one of two state archaeological parks (the other is Old Stone Fort), is set aside to protect the prehistoric remains found there. Pinson Mounds, the largest Middle Woodland Period mound group, consists of at least 15 earthen mounds, a geometric enclosure, habitation areas and related earthworks on almost 1,200 acres. The Mounds are located on a plateau and lay upland above the South Fork of the Forked Dear River. Divided into three sections – the Inner Complex includes Sauls’ Mound (named for John Sauls – owner of the land purchased by the State) and is at the center of the complex, the Eastern Section which features the Eastern Citadel and the Western (Ozier) Section featuring the Ozier Mound and Twin Mounds.
