Description and Table of Contents

Description

Cahokia and the Hinterlands explores cultural interactions among Cahokians and other Middle Mississippian populations across the Midcontinent, covering topics as diverse as economic modeling, craft specialization, settlement patterns, agricultural and subsistence systems, and the development of social ranking. Proposing sophisticated and innovative models for the growth, development, and decline of Mississippian culture at Cahokia and elsewhere, this volume also provides insight into the rise of chiefdoms and stratified societies and the development of trade throughout the world.
