Etowah

1000 – 1550
ChiefdomNorth America

A walled riverside town in the Georgia piedmont whose six mounds and richly furnished elite burials made it a heartland of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex.

Sacked and abandoned in cycles, Etowah's chiefdom finally faded before 1550; its descendants were among the Muscogee (Creek) peoples met by the Spanish.
