Description
Cahokia and the Hinterlands explores cultural interactions among Cahokians and other Middle Mississippian populations around the Midcontinent, covering topics as diverse as economic modeling, craft specialization, settlement patterns, agricultural and subsistence systems, and the advance of social ranking. Proposing subtle and cutting edge models for the expansion, development, and decline of Mississippian culture at Cahokia and in different places, this volume also supplies insight into the upward push of chiefdoms and stratified societies and the advance of trade all over the arena.
