The Kolomoki Mound Group, Early County, Georgia

The recent revival of interest in the Kolomoki site, little known except to southeastern archaeologists, has suggested that a short description would be of value. The mound group was described by C. C. Jones in 1873 as Messier Plantation Mound. Some random digging has been done from time to time, and several large collections of flint points have been removed. Dr. A. R. Kelly, Jesse D. Jennings, Robert Wauchope, and the writer have made surface collections which are now at Ocmulgee National Monument, Macon, Georgia. Through the interest of Dr. C. C. Harrold of Macon, Georgia, the group has become a state park under the jurisdiction of the State of Georgia. Dr. Robert Wauchope and the writer excavated a series of test pits along the site of a proposed road and found evidence of scattered house sites. Jones reports burials adjacent to the large mound. During 1940 and 1941 the writer investigated two small mounds which were to be flooded by a proposed recreational development. These mounds did not yield much material, and the bulk of the information comes from the surface collections
