bundle secc shell gorget thunderbird underwater panther yaupon tea v t e the coosa chiefdom was a powerful muskogean speaking native american paramount chiefdom centered in what are now northwestern georgia and southeastern tennessee in the united states 1 the total population of coosa s area of influence reaching further into present day tennessee and alabama has been estimated at 50 000 it was inhabited from at least 1400 until about 1600 and dominated several smaller chiefdoms 2 hernando de soto and his conquistadors visited coosa on their expedition through the southeast united states in 1539 1541 as did participants in tristán de luna s expedition in 1560 and juan pardo s 1566 1568 expedition 3 the europeans recorded descriptions and impressions of the various chiefdoms they visited describing coosa as a series of communities and fertile gardens containing much food rather than a town or city 4 failed verification coosa was also the name of one of the four mother towns of the muscogee creek confederacy 5 history edit the protohistoric king site on the coosa river occupied during the mid to late 1500s coosa historical marker along coosa river outside childersburg alabama a map showing the de soto expedition route through georgia south carolina north carolina tennessee and alabama based on the charles m hudson map of 1997 the coosa chiefdom was centered at a site along the coosawattee river in present day gordon and murray counties in northwestern georgia the capital of coosa it had a large plaza and three platform mounds as well as residential dwellings researchers have found various mississippian culture pottery types the most substantial of which reflect the site s middle and late south appalachian mississippian culture a regional variation of the mississippian culture habitation from 1300 to 1600 1 archeologists who nicknamed this settlement as little egypt have defined these as the dallas lamar and mouse creek phases of pottery these type variations could indicate that the chiefdom underwent three archaeological phases and changes in culture each with distinct pottery and artifact styles only one other village had a mound the others associated with the chiefdom had only residential dwellings citation needed hernando de soto and his expedition entered the coosa chiefdom in 1540 chroniclers recorded that the chiefdom consisted of eight villages archaeologists have identified the remains of seven of these including the capital the population of the coosa is thought to have been between about 2 500 to 4 650 people the chief of coosa ruled over a significantly wider confederation of other chiefdoms whose territory spread 400 miles along the appalachian mountains across present day northern georgia into eastern tennessee and central alabama these populations totaled in the tens of thousands this polity consisted of seven or more smaller chiefdoms representing about 50 000 people 1 following contact with europeans and the associated introduction of endemic old world diseases the populations of the coosa and other local chiefdoms suffered extensive fatalities from the new diseases the societies went into precipitous decline and suffered great disruption by the loss of so much life by the close of the 16th century most of the core area of the coosa was abandoned the surviving population withdrew to a few villages along the coosa river in alabama one such settlement was the king site a small heavily fortified village of 277 to 517 people and 47 houses 1 linguistics edit the chroniclers of the de soto expedition recorded the name of the coosa as coça 6 the early french maps recorded several member towns of the creek confederacy as being occupied by the cousha or coushetta in their transliterated form of the name as they heard it the cherokee first appeared to use the word kusa to mean the muskogee creek people of the upper towns who were competitors and enemies according to james mooney they called the muskogee creek ani ku sa or ani gu sa from kusa their principal town 7 english speakers adopted coosa as a frontier english version of the early cherokee word the contemporary cherokee name for all creek indians is ani kusa this is also the name for muskogee oklahoma ꭻꮠꭲ guso i the name for the muskogee creek people in the revised cherokee syllabary of ꭶꮃꭹꮎ elias boudinot is spelled ꭰꮒꭻꮜ a singular muskogee creek person is ꭰꭻꮜ agusa according to the cherokee english dictionary cherokee nation of oklahoma feeling pulte 1975 the original name for the town may have derived from a muskogean
