Mangum Mound Site, Native American archaeological site along Natchez Trace Parkway, Mississippi, United States.
The Mangum Mound Site features a raised earthen structure constructed from a natural hill, located at milepost 45.7 of the Natchez Trace Parkway.
Archaeological excavations in 1963 led by Charles F. Bohannon uncovered eighty-four individual burials dating from 1350 to 1500 CE during the Foster Phase.
The site contained two rare Mississippian copper plates with bird designs representing the ceremonial practices of the Plaquemine culture.
Visitors should note that the access road has an 11-foot-6-inch bridge clearance, requiring larger vehicles to park at the Grindstone Ford area.
Among the discovered remains, archaeologists identified a woman in her late 30s with bone markings indicating she suffered from multiple myeloma.
