The Kolomoki Mounds is one of the largest and earliest Woodland period earthwork mound complexes in the Southeastern United States[3] and is the largest in Georgia. Constructed from 350 to 600, the mound complex is located in southwest Georgia, in present-day Early County near the Chattahoochee River.[2]
The mounds were designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1964.[2][4] Seven of the eight mounds are protected as part of Kolomoki Mounds State Historic Park.[5]
