Pharr Mounds, Archaeological complex with eight burial mounds in northern Mississippi, United States.
The site spreads across 90 acres containing eight dome-shaped burial mounds of different sizes, with the largest measuring 200 feet in diameter.
Built between 1 and 200 CE during the Miller culture period, these earthwork mounds served as burial grounds for nomadic Native American communities.
Excavations revealed ceremonial items made from copper, greenstone, and mica, indicating extensive trade networks between local tribes and distant regions.
Located at milepost 286.7 of the Natchez Trace Parkway, approximately 23 miles northeast of Tupelo, the site offers educational insights into ancient burial practices.
Four of the eight mounds contain fire pits and clay platforms at their base, along with both cremated and non-cremated human remains.
