the Mississippi Department of Archives
and History (MDAH), undertook the first
excavations at Lyon’s Bluff. Chambers
never formally documented the field
work, and the finds he recovered were
thought to be lost. Recently, human
remains belonging to five individuals
removed by Chambers were discovered
at MDAH, and in 2022, they were
transferred to the Cobb Institute of
Archaeology.
In 1965, Richard Marshall, an
archeologist at Mississippi State
University, together with members of
the Mississippi Archaeological
Association (MAA) in Oktibbeha
County, excavated a midden area in the
northeast areas of the site. In 1967,
Marshall and others from Mississippi
State University and the University of
Mississippi conducted a joint field
school, during which two large blocks
were excavated and the human remains
of, at minimum, 67 individuals were
removed and sent to Mississippi State
University. Marshall continued to
excavate at Lyon’s Bluff throughout the
late 1960s and early 1970s, during
which he removed additional burials.
Following Marshall’s excavations,
Mississippi State University continued
to hold field schools at Lyon’s Bluff, in
2001 and 2003. Most recently, in the
summer of 2021, Shawn Lambert,
Assistant Professor at Mississippi State
University, in collaboration with the
Choctaw, led an archeological survey
and excavation at the site. Their work
revealed a significant historic Choctaw
component overlying three preEuropean Contact house mounds.
The 442 associated funerary objects
are 75 lots consisting of ceramics
sherds, 56 shell fragments, 143 lots
consisting of faunal remains, 25 pieces
of lithic debitage, 10 stone tools, 45 lots
consisting of daub, one worked fossil,
eight charcoal samples, seven soil
samples, five bone awls, three pieces of
fired clay, two drilled bear teeth, one
charred corn cob, two pieces of
limestone, two turtle shells, one
necklace composed of shell beads and
bear teeth, four ceramic ear plugs, one
stone, three ground stones, two shell
beads, three charred acorns, one charred
seed, 10 pieces of sandstone, 11 worked
shells, two greenstone celts, six bone
tools, four ceramic discoidals, two shell
gorgets, one fire-cracked rock, one
partial stone palette, one nail, one gorget
composed of incised turtle shell, one
stone ear plug, one nutting stone, and
one utilized deer antler.
