Excavations of the site imply that the mounds were enlarged in several stages, allowing enough time between the structures for residents’ trash deposits to accumulate on the more sensitive mounds and ridges. Evidence of trash accumulation implies that Watson Brake would possibly have been used as a base for hunter-gatherer cellular equipment during the summer and fall.
Ancient archaeological sites such as Watson Brake and Poverty Point show that pre-agricultural and pre-ceramic indigenous cultures in the United States were far more complex than previously thought. The progression of those complicated monuments has led scientists to take a closer look at these hunter-gatherer peoples and overcome the barriers of what they were once thought to be capable of.
