Roods Landing Site, Archaeological site near Chattahoochee River, Georgia.

Roods Landing Site is a complex of eight earthen platform mounds at the confluence of Rood Creek and the Chattahoochee River south of Omaha, Georgia. Mound A rises 7.6 metres, with a summit 44.2 by 38.1 metres holding three wattle and daub structures and a yellow clay surface edged by a 60-to-90-centimetre parapet. Two ramps, each 15.2 metres long, descend from openings in that parapet, one facing northwest toward a plaza opposite Mound E and the other to the southwest.

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.
