Mouse Creek phase

The Mouse Creek phase is an archaeological culture of the Eastern Tennessee region of Mississippian chiefdoms, first defined by T. M. N. Lewis and Madeline Kneberg in their examinations of the Chickamauga Basin. This area exhibits artifacts, burials, and architecture distinct from other settlements in the area. The region was occupied from around 1400–1600.[1]

Excavated settlements for this phase were found in Eastern Tennessee, in the region of the Hiwassee River and Mouse Creek.[1]
