Schicker Mound is a Native American archaeological site located near Tallulah, Louisiana, United States.[1] It is located very close to suburban houses.

Description[edit]

The site consists of a platform mound which now measures 5 feet (1.5 m) in height, with the base being 115 feet (35 m) by 115 feet (35 m).[1] Site surveys have not produced and items or artifacts which would help to definitively date it to a specific time period.
