The pottery and other artifact styles found here were culturally tied to the massive Mississippian mound complex of Moundville, located about twenty miles south of present-day Tuscaloosa.
The major occupation of the site likely dates to around AD 1250, when sites like Lubbub Creek and the Kellog site were large busy villages downstream along the Tombigbee and smaller farmsteads like the Tibbee Creek site dotted the surrounding floodplains. Some of these sites were fortified, with protective encircling palisade walls, while others were not. Agriculture was a major part of the lives of the Mississippian peoples who lived in the Southeast and those who built the Hamilton Mounds likely relied heavily on growing corn, beans, and squash in the rich bottomlands of the Buttahatchee River.
Location coordinates are for Mound A.
