Holly Bluff Site, Archaeological site in Yazoo County, US.
The Holly Bluff Site contains twenty-five mounds spread across its grounds, with Mound A reaching 55 feet in height and covering two acres of land.
Archaeological excavations at the site began in 1908 when Clarence Bloomfield Moore uncovered artifacts and two disturbed burials after obtaining permission from Judge William Andrew Henry.
The location represents multiple periods of Native American occupation, from the Jaketown Phase through the Baytown period, revealing changes in cultural practices over time.
The site operates under National Historic Landmark guidelines, requiring visitors to contact administrators in advance due to its remote location in Yazoo County.
The positioning of Mound A creates an unusual layout with two separate plazas on its eastern and western sides, differing from typical ceremonial center arrangements.
