Description
The site is located less than a mile from
Transylvania Mounds
Transylvania Mounds is an archaeological site in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana with components from the Coles Creek (700–1200)CE and Plaquemine/ Mississippi periods (1200–1541). It is the type site for the ''Transylvania Phase (1500-1680 CE)' ...
and it is extremely likely that Julice is part of that complex. The site has a single
platform mound and is located near a channel that feeds into the
Mississippi River and right next to
Louisiana Highway 581. A survey from 1954 describes it as being in height and having a small platform on its summit. The route for HWY 581 runs over the former location of a large section of the mound, of which only about one third remains and recent measurements of the mound put it at in height and by at its base.
Pottery discovered at the site date its occupation to 1200–1541 CE.
