Ocmulgee Mounds - 17,000 Years of History from Paleo Indians to the Mississippian Period - Macon, GA OCMULGEE MOUNDS NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK Visitors experience a view of the ancient past when they enter the Earth Lodge, a reconstructed council chamber of the Mississippian culture. This building’s walls and ceiling were reconstructed in the late 1930s by Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Project Administration crews under the direction of Archeologist A.R. Kelly. The clay floor within this building is the original floor built by native people. It is dated, using carbon dating techniques, at the year 1015. The Great Temple Mound Complex consists of the two tallest mounds in the park: The Great Temple Mound and the Lesser Temple Mound. These mounds were created by the Mississippians who lived here in the 10th century CE. The flat-topped, pyramidal mounds were raised in layers at intervals over many years; and suggest intricate social relationships. The Great Temple Mound is where the village chief would have lived, and was built in four separate stages with clay steps going up the northern slope. It’s estimated that 10 million baskets of dirt, weighing about 60 pounds each, were used to build the 55-feet-tall mound! Today, there are steps that allow visitors to climb to the top of both mounds for a spectacular view of the surrounding area.
