Roods Landing Site

Roods Landing Site is an archaeological area containing eight earthen platform mounds near the Chattahoochee River. The largest mound shows clear layers and traces of structures, with carefully built access routes that connected different levels.

This place was inhabited over many centuries, from the Middle Woodland period through the Mississippian era. The people who lived here left their mark through these earthen mounds and objects buried beneath the ground.

The structures built on the main mound show how people organized their living spaces and homes. These remains offer clues about daily life and the building skills of those who lived here long ago.

The site is protected and only accessible through organized visits with a guide. This approach helps keep the ancient structures and buried objects safe from damage caused by random foot traffic.

The main mound has two ramps built into the earth that lead directly to the summit. These matched pathways show careful planning and skilled earthwork construction.
