The Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center protects 150 acres encompassing twelve mounds, an elite village area, and part of a support city. Spiro is Oklahoma’s only prehistoric archaeological site open to the public and one of the most important American Indian sites in the nation. The prehistoric Spiro people created a sophisticated culture which influenced the entire Southeast. Artifacts indicate an extensive trade network, a highly developed religious center, and a political system which controlled the entire region.
