This study examines the visual, contextual, and geographic connections between mounds and petroglyph sites created by Native people in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia during the Mississippian period (c. 800–1600). By integrating the study of petroglyphs with Indigenous burial and civic mounds, this research offers a comprehensive analysis of how these sites functioned within ancient Native life and culture. Employing interdisciplinary methods, including geographic mapping, visual analysis, and contextual interpretation, the project situates petroglyph and mound sites within the broader context of Indigenous art history and landscape use. This interconnected approach enhances the appreciation and understanding of these sites, revealing their cultural and geographic significance while contributing to ongoing scholarship in rock art studies in the American Southeast.
