Pompano Beach Mound
Pompano Beach Mound, Native American burial mound in Pompano Beach, United States.
The Pompano Beach Mound measures 100 feet in width and rises 7 feet tall, forming an oval structure on the western shore of an Atlantic barrier island.
Archaeological excavations in 1938 uncovered a wooden artifact from 700 CE known as the Keeper of the Mound, indicating long-term ritualistic practices at this location.
The Tequesta people followed specific burial customs, allowing natural decomposition before placing cleaned bones within designated mounds for final interment.
Indian Mound Park, established in 1926, provides access to this archaeological site while maintaining protective measures for its preservation and research purposes.
The mound contains multiple layers of artifacts representing three distinct periods of Glades culture, demonstrating continuous indigenous settlement patterns in South Florida.
