Rowlandton Mound Site, Archaeological site in McCracken County, Kentucky, United States.
The Rowlandton Mound Site stretches across 3 hectares near the Ohio River, featuring a central platform mound and surrounding settlement remains.
Between 1100 CE and 1350 CE, this settlement developed at the edge of an oxbow lake, serving as a center for Mississippian culture activities.
Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed patterns of daily life, trade networks, and social structures of indigenous communities in prehistoric Kentucky.
Researchers and visitors need to obtain proper permissions and coordinate with local authorities before accessing the archaeological site for study or observation.
Research by Dr. Kit Wesler in 2006 determined that the site originated from local Late Woodland peoples rather than expanding from the Kincaid Mounds settlement.
