This report presents an interim summary of three seasons of archaeological excavations at the Little River site (9Mg46) in Morgan County, Georgia. The focus of the work was on the Mississippian period chiefly compound, dominated by the 1-meter-high Mound A. This component of the site is highly important because it is a very short occupation (ca. 30-40 years), and because it has never been plowed. Traditional archaeological testing and block excavation techniques were performed, and an array of more modern remotesensing techniques were also brought to bear on the site. In addition, limited test excavations were made on the Woodland period Swift Creek component at the site. All of this work is giving us a much clearer understanding of this fascinating site and the Indians who once lived there.
