In February and August of 2006, the Jacksonville State University Archaeological Resource Laboratory onducted field investigations at the Shelton Stone Mound Complex, 1Ca637, which straddles the eastern slope of Choccolocco Mountain overlooking Whites Gap in eastern Calhoun County, Alabama. The majority of the stone mound complex is located on the property of A.C. Shelton, with a portion extending into adjacent USFS property. The site, at present, consists of 79 conical stone mounds, one horseshoe-shaped mound, 31 linear stone walls, a serpent-like stone wall, one “Z” –shaped stone wall with natural boulder feature, one “V”- shaped stone wall, and an oval boulder confi guration.

JSU-ARL researchers, based on early historical records and comparative site information, believe these stone structures were constructed during the Woodland period, 1000 BC to AD 600.

Shelton Stone Mound Complex
Shelton Stone Mound Complex submitted by AKFisher : One of many large stone mounds at the Shelton Complex near Anniston, Alabama. There are hundreds of known Native American stone mounds there confirmed as such in various archaeological publications. These were not burial mounds, but were "remembrance mounds."
