Toltec Mounds - Mound C
Toltec Mounds - Mound C submitted by bat400 : Mound C and Mound A (l to r) at Toltec Mounds. Mound C is a burial Mound. Mound A, at 50 feet tall is the largest Mound in Arkansas. Photo by bat400, April 2007. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Barrow Cemetery in Lonoke County, Arkansas.
Mound C is the third largest mound in the complex. It is 12 feet tall. It is the only mound that was used for burials - two largely entact skeletons were found in a 1966 excavation.

From the construction of Mound C, in layers over time, it is assumed that the burials were made in this one location and earth layers added - growing the mound over time. Other burials are known to be in and around the mound, but no further excavations will be performed. No burials have been found in any order location in Toltec, and this is part of the evidence that the site was a largely ceremonial location, with little or no habitation there.

Interestingly, there is a modern cemetery site at Toltec, plotted to one side of the park, outside the embankment boundary. This has been specifically provided as a potential reburial site for pre-historic human remains and grave goods being repatriated to the modern members of historic tribes of the area, the Caddo, Quapaw, Tunica and Osage people. In this way any remains repatriated, or remains that are found in modern development in this area of Arkansas, may be reburied close to a place created by the likely ancestors of the historic tribes, and yet on ground that will not be disturbed by possible future excavations at Toltec.
