The Yent Mound was constructed by people of the Deptford culture around the beginning of the Current Era. William Sears defined the archaeological Yent Complex based on artifacts found in the Yent Mound, Pierce Mound and Crystal River Mounds. The Yent Complex was related to the Hopewell tradition, and some of the artifacts were trade items from the Hopewell area.[3]
