The Belcher Mound Site (16CD13) is an archaeological site in Caddo Parish, Louisiana.[1] It is located in the Red River Valley 20 miles north of Shreveport[2] and about one-half mile east of the town of Belcher, Louisiana.[3] It was excavated by Clarence H. Webb from 1959 to 1969.[3] The site gives its name to a local phase of the Caddoan Mississippian culture, the Belcher Phase, which radiocarbon dates suggest lasted from 1400 to 1600 CE.[2]
