The Dyar site (9GE5) is an archaeological site in Greene County, Georgia, in the north central Piedmont physiographical region.^[1] The site covers an area of 2.5 hectares.^[2] It was inhabited almost continuously from 1100 to 1600 by a local variation of the Mississippian culture known as the South Appalachian Mississippian culture. Although submerged under Lake Oconee, the site is still important as one of the first explorations of a large Mississippian culture mound.^[1] The Dyar site is thought to have been one of the principal towns of the paramount chiefdom of Ocute, perhaps Cofaqui.^[3]^[4]
