Ocumulgee National Park

On Wednesday we went to visit the Ocumulgee National Park a few minutes from Mercer. Here we were able to see some incredible things in nature that have been in a transformation for tens of thousands of years. Erosion of creek beds helped show us some different soil layers, as well as seeing some original Native American pieces. The most interesting thing I found on this trip was the hut where the floor was carbon dated to over ten thousand years old! It's pretty amazing to see something that old, even if it's just something general like a floor. I have posted a picture of the entrance to the Indian Mound hut. It was also interesting to learn that these mounds were not ultimately found until fairly recently. The way they were actually discovered was human bones were sticking out.
