Roxbury Indian Mound
Roxbury Indian Mound submitted by Dodomad : Chickamauga Mound in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1865. I know some people are shocked at how many mounds there were and still are. But in 1492, the mainstream archaeological estimate is that about 57 Million people already lived in the Americas. Photo courtesy Dr Greg Little, author of the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Native American Indian Mounds & Earthworks (2016). (Vote or comment on this photo)
The tree-covered mound dates to the Woodland Period of prehistory (900 B.C.-900 A.D). It was originally surrounded by an extensive village and probably used as a burial mound for high-ranking individuals.

Named after the carpet mill once located next to it, Roxbury Mound is the best-preserved example of prehistoric earthworks remaining in Chattanooga. A small Cherokee settlement from the 18th century is also documented for this general location.

Sadly, the mound was extensively looted during the early 20th century, and the village area was damaged by construction activities. Only small, scattered remnants of a once-thriving Native American community are found today.
