Tolu Site, Archaeological site in Crittenden County, Kentucky, United States.
The Tolu Site contains three distinct mounds across its grounds, including a burial mound and a platform mound from the Mississippian period.
William Webb and William Funkhouser conducted extensive excavations at the Tolu Site in 1930, documenting the settlement patterns of early Native Americans.
The archaeological findings at Tolu Site demonstrate the complex social organization and ceremonial practices of Mississippian societies between 1200 and 1450 CE.
Researchers can access the site documentation through the Digital Archaeological Record database, which maintains detailed citation records of past investigations.
A farmer discovered an intricate stone statue carved from greyish white fluorite near the site in 1954, featuring detailed representations of Mississippian hairstyles.
