stonetracker saw from a distance on 1st Feb 2024 Saw from the road. The village is now in a cultivated field. The original mound was destroyed when the paved road was built.

Ancient Village or Settlement in The South

Richard's Bridge is listed as an intermediate-scale satellite village site built during the Parkin phase of the Late Mississippian period (1400-1700 CE). Most of these village sites are located along either the St. Francis or Tyronza Rivers.

Note: The paramount mound site is located at Parkin Archaeological Park near the confluence of these two rivers.

Most but not all of these smaller sites had at least one mound, a habitation area, and a surrounding palisade and moat. The mound at Richard's Bridge was reportedly destroyed during construction of a nearby road. However, the habitation site remains although mostly subsurface in a cultivated field. It has been the subject of at least one archaeological field school study (see Comments).

For more on the satellite villages and the Parkin Phase culture, see:
