Description: Marksville Mound 6. Conical burial mounds, Hopewell style ceramics, and possibly earthworks are easy enough to identify as Hopewellian horizon markers. Mounds 2 and 6 at Marksville, however, are more of an enigma. Mound 6 is a flat-topped pyramidal structure not normally associated with either Marksville or Hopewell. The mound is about 100 meters in diameter and 4 meters high. The handful of pottery from Mound 6 is associated with the Marksville

Description: Vertically incised Marksville rims. Bands of rim decoration consisting of parallel incised lines are equally diagnostic of early Marksville as the more widely recognized crosshatched rims. Examples from the Marksville, Medora, and Smithfield sites are representative of this treatment. Vertically incised rims have been found on Hopewell style vessels in the Illinois Valley.

Description: Marksville lithics. The lithic technology of the Marksville period has not been studied properly. The most common lithic artifacts include lanceolate, stemmed dart points, and in early Marksville contexts, prismatic blades. Boat-shaped atlatl weights, chipped celts, and bifaces round out the Marksville tool kit. Imported greenstone celts were found at the Crooks and Trammel sites.

Description: Baytown Plain, var. Marksville vessel. Plain vessels from early Marksville mortuary contexts are usually small (cup- or pint-sized). A vessel found by Ford and Setzler in Marksville Mound 4 has a characteristic notched lip. The jar was found on top of the burial platform in association with the badly crushed skull of an animal presumed to be a dog. Height 11.8 cm, diameter 10.6 cm, capacity 650 ml.

Description: Marksville Stamped, var. Marksville vessel. A well executed scroll motif is emphasized by zoned dentate rocker stamping on a tubby pot recovered from Marksville Mound 4 by Ford and Setzler. The deeply notched front edge of the lip is another typical early Marksville rim treatment. Height 7.4 cm, diameter 10.9 cm, capacity 400 ml. Smithsonian No. 369003, U.S. National Museum.

Description: Marksville Stamped, var. Marksville vessel. Fowke excavated another vessel in Marksville Mound 4 which exemplifies broad U-shaped lines used to create bands that are alternately roughened by dentate rocker stamping. The vessel combines a tubby pot vessel mode with a tapered pedestal base. The same combination was used on another vessel found in the Pharr Mound in northeaster Mississippi. The Pharr vessel is roughly contemporary and, in fact, may b

Description: Marksville Incised, var. Sunflower vessel. Widely spaced incised lines, as used in this simple meander pattern of parallel lines, is a more standard usage in the northern Yazoo Basin and in northern Hopewell. The small beaker was found by Fowke in Marksville Mound 4. Height 6.1 cm, diameter 7.4 cm, capacity 150 ml. Smithsonian No. 331708, U.S. National Museum.

Description: Marksville Stamped, var. Old River vessel. Another beaker, built around three lobes, utilizes non-dentate rocker stamping to emphasize halves of a motif resembling a corner notched projectile point. Both dentate and non-dentate rocker stamping have northern Hopewell parallels. The dash-dot rim treatment on this vessel excavated by Fowke in Marksville Mound 4 is an early Marksville diagnostic with no identified comparisons from outside the Lower Mis

Description: Marksville Stamped, var. Marksville vessel. John R. Swanton was given a small beaker from Fowke's unfinished trench in Marksville Mound 4 that provided a good example of zoned dentate rocker stamping. The roughened background is used to achieve a dual motif which may represent the talons of a bird of prey. Height 7.6 cm, diameter 8.8 cm, capacity 330 ml.

Description: Marksville earthworks. Originally, the main earthworks at the Marksville site were 2.5 to 4 meters high and had a ditch, or borrow area, along the outside edge (Toth 1974: 15). The earthworks define a broad "ceremonial" area which can be entered through three openings. The Marksville embankment never has been excavated, and thus it is unwise to assign such constructions to the early Marksville period - no matter how strong the parallels to northern

Description: Marksville Stamped, var. Marksville vessel. Early excavations at Marksville produced ceramics that showed affinity with northern Hopewell. A finely made slender pot found by Fowke in Mound 8 has three repetitions of the raptorial bird motif. The background of the clay tempered vessel is roughen by dentate rocker stamping, another Hopewellian parallel. An almost identical vessel was found in Mound 4 (Toth 1974: Fig. c, d). Height 12.8 cm, diameter

Description: Marksville site, aerial view. Many of the main features of the Marksville site can be seen in the aerial photograph taken by Thomas Ryan in 1971. The main portion of the site is defined by a semicircular embankment about 1,100 meters long which now ranges from 1 to 2 meters in height. Within the enclosure are three conical mounds (Mounds 3, 4, and 5) and two larger truncated pyramidal mounds (Mounds 2 and 6). There is a small circular enclosure so

Description: Marksville site map. The Marksville site is located on the eastern edge of the Marksville Prarie overlooking Old River and the adjacent floodplain approximately 12 meters below. Other early Marksville sites, such as Helena Crossing and Grand Gulf, are situated on similar high ground with commanding positions above the Mississippi Valley. The Marksville site was mapped and its features named by Gerard Fowke in 1926. (Fowke, 1928)
