Jaketown Site, Archaeological site in Humphreys County, United States.

Jaketown Site is an archaeological location in Humphreys County containing two prehistoric earthwork mounds. The larger mound stands about 23 feet high with a base measuring roughly 150 by 200 feet.

Occupation at Jaketown began around 1750 BCE and continued until about 1500 CE, making it one of the region's oldest continuously inhabited sites. During the Poverty Point period (2000–600 BCE) it was a trade center where raw materials and finished goods moved through networks reaching across the Eastern United States. The two surviving mounds were built later, between roughly 1100 and 1500 CE, as the political and religious center of a chiefdom.

Poverty Point peoples at Jaketown made finished goods from raw materials brought from distant regions, and those items moved through a network reaching across the Eastern United States. Pottery shards found in the area led scholars to date the later mounds to the Mississippian period, roughly 1100 to 1500 CE. Artifacts from the site are displayed at the Jaketown Museum in Belzoni.

The location is managed by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and can be accessed from Mississippi Highway 7 north of Belzoni. Visitors should bring appropriate footwear and weather protection since the ground remains exposed to the elements.

Archaeological layers were found approximately 12 feet below ground level, indicating severe prehistoric flooding. These deep deposits show the site experienced repeated inundation yet people continued to return and rebuild.
