Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A page I found says "The area was first settled by Native Americans around 300 B.C. Today on the banks of the old Mississippi river channel in Marksville, three large burial mounds, a museum and a national park commemorate their civilization. Tunicas from the Natchez tribes east of the river conquered and assimilated with the Avoyels nearly two centuries ago and are currently the largest Native American group in Avoyelles."

The following link gives some contact information. http://www.enlou.com/parishes/avoyelles-...

I know nothing of the locality prehistoric but could make some connections with Woodland period mound builder cultures.
