The Little Pecan Island Site (16 CM 43) is an archaeological site of the Coastal Coles Creek culture, occupied by Native Americans from 800 to 1100 CE near Grand Chenier, Louisiana in Cameron Parish. Investigations by Robert Wauchope in 1946 produced a number of flexed burials and ceramic chronologies which helped determine the age and cultural affiliation of the site.[1]
The site is situated on a low sandy ridge about 3miles in length and less than 1500feet in width at its maximum extent and is surrounded on its north and east by Little Pecan Lake. It lies about 5miles to the northeast from Grand Chenier Ridge.[2]
