}}Sundown Mounds is an multimound archaeological site in Tensas Parish, Louisiana from the Early Coles Creek culture.[1]

It is the type site for the Sundown Phase (600-800 CE) of the Tensas Basin and Natchez Bluff Coles Creek chronology.

Description

The site is located on the western bank of Little Choctaw Bayou and has three platform mounds that form a triangle surrounding a plaza, a typical Coles Creek arrangement.[2] Mound A, the largest mound, is a {{convert|11|ft|m}} in height and its base measures {{convert|190|ft|m}} by {{convert|180|ft|m}} and a summit measuring {{convert|60|ft|m}} by {{convert|60|ft|m}}. Mound B, the second largest, is located {{convert|400|ft|m}} to the northwest of Mound A. It is {{convert|8|ft|m}} in height with base measurements of {{convert|130|ft|m}} by {{convert|100|ft|m}} and its summit {{convert|65|ft|m}} by {{convert|33|ft|m}}. Mound C is {{convert|7|ft|m}} with base measurements of {{convert|100|ft|m}} by {{convert|80|ft|m}} with a dome-shaped summit.[1] Mounds A and B had ramps from their summits down to the plaza. The mounds were constructed sometime between 750-800 CE,[2] but the site was occupied during most of the Coles Creek period from 700 to 1200.[1]
