Garden Creek site is an archaeological site located west of Asheville, North Carolina in Haywood County at the confluence of the Pigeon River and Garden Creek〔 near Canton and the Pisgah National Forest. The site features two Pisgah Phase villages (31Hw7) and the three Garden Creek Mounds (31Hw1-3). The two villages located on the site were occupied from 600 CE to 1200 CE, first by Woodland period Hopewellian peoples and later by Pisgah Phase people of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture (a regional variation of the Mississippian culture).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Woodland and Mississippian Periods in North Carolina : The South Appalachian Mississippian Tradition :Pisgah Phase (A.D. 1000 - 1450) )〕 Pisgah phase artefacts "are widely thought to represent a continuum of cultural development through which historic Cherokee culture and communities took shape. The earliest human occupation at the site dates to 8000 BCE.〔("Garden Creek." ) ''North Carolina Highway Historical Marker Program.''(retrieved 11 July 2010)〕 ==Site features== The site includes two permanent villages with three earthwork mounds.〔 The largest village, designated 31Hw7, was located on a terrace overlooking Garden Creek, a tributary of the Pigeon River.
