Catoma Creek Site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catoma Creek site (1MT209) in Alabama is near the Alabama River's main tributary stream. The creek was named due to its proximity to the Catoma Creek within its floodplain.[1] Its existence is marked by the Middle Woodland period, which occurred in Alabama from 200 CE - 500 CE.[1] Catoma Creek is considered to be one of Cobb City's "Swamp Sites,"[citation needed] which occupy the surrounding areas of the upper river valley in Alabama. These sites have collectively served as channels for the culture and lifestyle of the neighbouring communities.[1] At the Cobb's Swamp sites, the Catoma Creek site has received the most in-depth examination.[1] Excavations of Catoma Creek Site have uncovered a considerable number of remains, including artefacts and structures that provide insight into the culture and daily life of residing communities.
