Emerald Mound and Village Site
Emerald Mound and Village Site, Archaeological site in St. Clair County, United States.
The Emerald Mound complex contains five earthen mounds, with the main structure reaching 50 feet in height and covering 300 feet at its base.
The Middle Mississippian people constructed and inhabited this settlement between 1000 and 1600 CE, operating as a satellite community of the Cahokia civilization.
The mounds demonstrate the engineering capabilities of Native American societies through precisely constructed earthworks used for ceremonies and community gatherings.
The site spans 145 acres northwest of the intersection between Emerald Mound Grange and Midgley Neiss Road in Lebanon, Illinois.
This archaeological complex ranks as the second-largest mound structure discovered in Illinois, following only the Monks Mound at Cahokia.
