The mound Builders Mounds continued to built sporadically for another 1800 years, or until Around 1700 A .D. Archeologists, the scientist who study the evidence Of human life ways, classify mound building Indians of the Southeast Into three chronological/cultural divisions: the Archaic, the Woodland, And the Mississippian traditions. To date, no mounds of the Archaic period (7000 to 1000 B.C.) have been positively identified in Mississippi; the mounds described herein all date to the last two cultural Periods.
