Spruce Creek Mound Complex, Archaeological burial mounds in Port Orange, Florida.
The Spruce Creek Mound Complex contains multiple earthworks constructed from soil and shell deposits on a bluff near the river bank.
These mounds, dating from 500 BC to 1500 AD, served as burial grounds for indigenous communities and later became navigation points during colonial times.
Excavations at the site have revealed numerous artifacts, including pottery, tools, and ceremonial objects from both Native American societies and early European settlers.
The archaeological site, listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1990, maintains restricted access to protect its historical structures.
The layered composition of the mounds contains evidence of continuous human activity spanning over 2000 years, including Timucuan settlements and Spanish colonial interactions.
