The Pinson Mounds are a State Archeological Park in Madison County, Tennessee, USA enclosing a prehistoric Native American religious site comprising earthen mounds built during the Middle Woodland Period (c. 200 BCE - 500 CE). Although there may originally have been more, the site presently includes 15 large earthen mounds ranging up to 72 feet (22 m) in height. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/Pinson\_Mounds/](https://www.worldhistory.org/Pinson_Mounds/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - If you've studied this topic, what would you add for other readers? - Have you come across a different take on this topic? - Anything here you'd push back on?
