Boyd Mounds Site, Archaeological burial site in Madison County, Mississippi, United States.
The Boyd Mounds Site contains six burial mounds dating from the Late Woodland and Early Mississippian period, with Mound 2 measuring 110 feet by 60 feet.
The National Park Service excavated multiple mounds in 1964, discovering remains of forty-one individuals along with pottery and other artifacts within the structures.
The construction techniques and burial practices evident at Boyd Mounds demonstrate the advanced engineering and social organization of Native American communities in prehistoric Mississippi.
Located at mile 106.9 on the Natchez Trace Parkway, the site features a parking area adjacent to Mound 2, making it accessible for public viewing.
Archaeological research revealed that Mound 2 originated as two separate structures that were later merged into one through the addition of an earth layer.
