It was the third largest of all of the Mound building settlements, extending over 52 acres, and was populated between 1000 and 1550 A.D. The name "Etowah" is probably a corruption of the Indian word "itawa", the significance of which is not known.
Etowah, the centre of political and religious life in the Etowah valley, was home to the chiefs who directed the growth, storage and distribution of food.
This mound was built up in layers with changes in temple structures, fences, and burial practices dating from the earliest at the bottom to the latest at the top.
Archaeological research on the subject is not conclusive, but the Etowah site may be the same as a village of a similar name visited by Spanish conquistador Hernando deSoto in 1540.
The professional excavation of this enormous burial mound contributed a major research impetus to the study of Mississippian artifacts and peoples, and greatly increased the understanding of pre-Contact Native Americans artwork.
