Georgia, the largest U. S. state east of the Mississippi river, is filled with the remnants of over 12,000 years of human occupation. From the mysterious stone wall at Fort Mountain and Etowah's impressive Indian mounds in the north of the state, Ocmulgee's amazing temple mounds in the center of the state, and Kolomoki's artifact-rich funeral mounds in the south, Georgia is host to a tremendous variety of American Indian historical sites.

Georgia is also home to many other unique Native American sites and artifacts. The oldest pottery in North America was found in Georgia. Rock Eagle and Rock Hawk, the only two bird effigy mounds to be found east of the Mississippi River, can both be found in Georgia. And the Sapelo Island Shell Rings located on the Georgia coast are older than the pyramids in Egypt.
