Silver Mound Archeological District
Silver Mound Archeological District, Native American archaeological site in Jackson County, Wisconsin.
The Silver Mound features extensive quarry pits where Indigenous peoples extracted high-quality quartzite for creating stone tools and weapons throughout millennia.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered artifacts dating back to 11,000 years ago, when Paleo-Indians hunted mammoths in the region.
The location contains six rock shelters along the bluff, with two containing preserved Native American rock art reflecting ancient spiritual practices.
The archaeological district maintains interpretive trails and educational signs that guide visitors through the historical quarrying areas and workshop locations.
Tools manufactured from Silver Mound quartzite have been discovered across multiple states, indicating an extensive prehistoric trade network throughout North America.
