Anna Site, Archaeological site in Adams County, Mississippi, United States

The Anna Site includes eight platform mounds arranged around a central plaza, with the main mound reaching 50 feet in height along the Mississippi River.

Initial archaeological excavations at the Anna Site began in 1924, followed by research from notable archaeologists Warren K. Moorehead, James Ford, and John Cotter.

The site represents the Plaquemine culture from 1200 to 1350 CE, serving as the reference location for understanding the development of Native American societies.

Located 10 miles north of Natchez, the Anna Site presents multiple earthwork structures for visitors to examine the architectural methods of prehistoric inhabitants.

Mound 4 contains evidence of a summit structure, indicating the presence of specialized buildings used by the Native American inhabitants between 1200 and 1500.
