As great as the accomplishments were during the Archaic period, they were only the beginning. Georgia's Native American architects would construct ever larger mounds and monuments during the Woodland period. As larger groups of people settled in one location for longer periods of time, these aboriginal architects had access to larger labor forces than ever before thus they could begin envisioning even greater projects.
