While you're in the neighborhood, see the Etowah Indian Mounds, a 54-acre archaeological site in Bartow County, Georgia south of Cartersville.
"Built and occupied in three phases, from 1000–1550 CE, the prehistoric site is located on the north shore of the Etowah River. Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site is a designated National Historic Landmark, managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources."

Ok, now I’m champin’ at the bit to get away from the farm and head to GA. Hubby’s out at the garage right now and has no idea what he’ll be walking into when he comes in. LOL!
I had no idea there were sites like this so close by.
In florida, look up the windover site near titusville. Well preserved bodies found in a bog. estimated 5000-7000 yrs old. in the brevard museum evidence of loom weaving and sophisticated agriculture. the neutral ph anerobic water left the bodies in amazing shape with some bodies even having brain material intact in the skulls.
