The Mott Archaeological Preserve or Mott Mounds Site (16 FR 11) is an archaeological site in Franklin Parish, Louisiana on the west bank of Bayou Macon.

It originally had eleven mounds with components from the Marksville, Troyville, Coles Creek, and Plaquemine periods.

The northern edge of the plaza has four small dome shaped mounds, aligned along a meander scar of Bayou Macon.

In the mid 1960s researchers from the Lower Mississippi Survey of Harvard University led by Stephen Williams sampled the site and fixed it into the local chronology.

[1][2] It is now known as the Mott Archaeological Preserve and is over 200 acres, making it one of the Conservancy’s largest acquisitions in the Southeastern United States to date.
