Jordan Mounds, Archaeological site in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, US.
The Jordan Mounds complex contains seven platform earthen structures encircling a central plaza area near a former Arkansas River channel.
The site dates from 1540 to 1685, during the period when Native Americans first encountered European explorers from the Hernando de Soto expedition.
The mounds reflect construction methods and ceremonial practices of indigenous groups who moved to the region from the eastern Mississippi River area.
The archaeological location remains under private ownership, requiring advance permission and coordination for any research or documentation activities.
Early archaeologist Clarence Bloomfield Moore never reached the site in the 1900s because his steamboat could not navigate the local waterways.
