Leake Mounds, Archaeological site near Cartersville, Georgia, US.
The Leake Mounds complex spans over 50,000 square feet along the Etowah River, featuring three platform mounds and a circular moat.
Native Americans constructed and inhabited the Leake Mounds from 300 BCE until 650 CE, preceding the nearby Etowah Mounds by several centuries.
The site contains pottery with diamond-shaped patterns connecting southeastern Native American traditions with Hopewell communities of the Midwest.
Despite partial destruction in the 1940s for road construction, remaining sections of Leake Mounds continue to provide valuable archaeological research opportunities.
The semi-circular ditch surrounding the mounds represents a modification of an ancient Etowah River channel, distinguishing it from other regional sites.
