High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jaketown Site is an archaeological site with two prehistoric earthwork mounds in Humphreys County, Mississippi, United States. While the mounds have not been excavated, distinctive pottery sherds found in the area lead scholars to date the mounds' construction and use to the Mississippian culture period, roughly 1100 CE to 1500 CE. The mounds are the remnants of a complex regional trade center that originated and was inhabited from 2000-600 BCE, during the Poverty Point culture within the Late Archaic period of the United States. Such mounds marked the political and religious center of a chiefdom and would have had numerous residences nearby, as well as structures to support certain crafts. Located along Mississippi Highway 7 approximately seven miles north of Belzoni, the site was declared a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in 1990. It is managed by the state of Mississippi.
