The Bessemer Site, also known as the Talley Mounds and the Jonesboro Mounds, is a South Appalachian Mississippian culture archaeological site located near the confluence of Halls Mill Creek and Valley Creek (a tributary of the Black Warrior River), west of downtown Bessemer in Jefferson County, Alabama. The site was occupied in the early Mississippian period from about 1150 to 1250 CE.[1]
