Emerald Mound Site is a late Mississippian period archaeological site located on the Natchez Trace Parkway near Stanton, Mississippi, United States. The site dates from the period between 1200 AD and 1730. The platform mound is the second-largest late prehistoric earthwork in the country, after Monk's Mound at Cahokia. Emerald Mound has a flat top with two smaller secondary mounds at each end. Travelers in the early 19th century noted a number of adjoining mounds that are no longer present. Emerald Mound was stabilized by the National Park Service in 1955. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989 (Wikipedia)
