What is Angel Mounds?
Located near the Ohio River in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, Angel Mounds (12Vg0001) was a well-populated center of a network of communities stretching along a segment about 120-river-miles long. The site was the residence of a Mississippian community between A.D. 1050 and 1450. The primary Mississippian occupation of the region is therefore referred to as the "Angel Phase" (Hilgeman 2000).
