Peck Mounds, Native American archaeological site in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, United States.
The archaeological complex includes five earthwork mounds near Ferry Place Plantation, with Mound E measuring 18 feet in height and 180 feet at its base.
The site dates from 650 to 860 CE during the Late Troyville-Early Coles Creek period, representing prehistoric construction methods of indigenous North American populations.
The arrangement and construction of these mounds demonstrate the architectural capabilities and ceremonial practices of Native American societies in the Mississippi Valley region.
The site stands on Maçon Ridge overlooking Lake Lovelace, providing researchers access to study ancient building techniques and social organization patterns.
Three of the mounds maintain their original dome shape with bases of 100 by 130 feet, while the largest mound features a 65 by 55 feet summit area.
