United States, Georgia, Bibb County, Macon, 32.84069, -83.6324Smith, Marvin T.2002-08-08Encyclopedia article about the Macon Trading Post. In 1936 archaeologist Arthur R. Kelly located the remains of a fortified trading establishment in the midst of a Creek Indian archaeological site on the Ocmulgee National Monument. Although historical documentation is lacking, it appeared to be an English trading house established while the Creek Indians were living in the area of present-day Macon during the period 1690-1718. The post is believed to have been burned in the Yamasee War of 1715. Excavations have turned up all sorts of artifacts, including axes, clay pipes, beads, knives, swords, bullets, flints, pistols, and muskets.GSE identifier: SS2H2, SS8H1text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Trading posts--Georgia--MaconCreek Indians--Georgia--HistoryExcavations (Archaeology)--Georgia--MaconHistoric sites--Georgia--MaconOcmulgee National Monument (Ga.)National monuments--GeorgiaMounds--Georgia--MaconGeorgia--AntiquitiesMacon trading postText
