Shiloh Indian Mounds Site, Archaeological site along Tennessee River, United States.
The settlement contains seven platform mounds and one burial mound situated on a high bluff overlooking the Tennessee River in Hardin County.
Indigenous people inhabited this location between 1000 CE and 1350 CE, creating a fortified village that served as a paramount chiefdom center.
The inhabitants constructed over 100 houses using wattle and daub techniques, cultivated maize, and maintained trading connections with settlements including Cahokia in Illinois.
The archaeological site opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering visitors access to walking trails and educational resources within Shiloh National Military Park.
The site remains undisturbed since its abandonment, preserving original house structures visible on the ground surface, a rare feature among eastern United States prehistoric sites.
