The Carson site, also known as the Carson Mounds and/or Carson-Montgomery-Stovall [3][4] was once a large Mississippian culture site along the Mississippi River in the Yazoo Basin of Mississippi.[5] The site was first occupied in the middle of the first millennium A.D. and the large earthen monuments and villages were constructed at the site after A.D. 1200.[6] Only a few large earthen mounds are still present at Carson to this day. Some archaeologists have suggested that Carson was one of the more important archaeological sites in the state of Mississippi.[7][8]
