The Braden Style, an artistic tradition whose origin has been placed at Cahokia, is recognizable on objects unearthed from locales that are remarkably distant from the American Bottom. In the Tallahassee Red Hills of Florida, the Lake Jackson site hosted burials in Mound 3 that contained a variety of these examples. While the contents of Mound 3’s burials have been investigated to explore ties to other major ceremonial centers in the Greater Southeast, the nature of those ties and their timing have not been fully investigated, especially in consideration of Cahokia. This chapter offers an assemblage based exploration of exchange between these two different and distant sites.","PeriodicalId":319251,"journal":{"name":"Cahokia in Context","volume":"72 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131622119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mound architecture includes a “greathouse” arguably built in a Cahokian style.

But the Cahokia diaspora per se deserves its own detailed examination. It does not do to say simply that Cahokia reached its peak during the Stirling phase and was virtually abandoned in the Moorehead phase. While this statement may be essentially true, it is also probably true (and more accurate) to say that Cahokia’s abandonment began during the late Stirling phase and was completed by the early Moorehead phase. It is here suggested that this “late Stirling–early Moorehead” interval requires greater attention, particularly as it relates to the impacts of the “Cahokia diaspora.”","PeriodicalId":319251,"journal":{"name":"Cahokia in Context","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116504409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present additional westerly evidence from sites in eastern and southeastern Arkansas that have produced: Missouri Flint Clay figurines; flakes resembling Burlington and Crescent Quarry cherts; hoes, polished “hoe chips,” and other items made of Mill Creek chert; plus a few Cahokia-style chunkey stones and a Cahokia arrow point, but as yet no Cahokian ceramics. These items tend to cluster at and near three mound sites, in contexts around 1200 AD, with hints of a southward time trend. Unlike the few “elite” or sacred figurines found in mounds, most other items are utilitarian and may have been recirculated (rather than chiefly-redistributed) via “trade fairs” at mound centers, to commoners from the hinterlands.","PeriodicalId":319251,"journal":{"name":"Cahokia in Context","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127362916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern dated contexts include a Cahokia Notched point find at the Kochtitzky Ditch site (ca. a.d. 1150 to 1400), and a Ramey Incised vessel with forked-eye motif from the Perry Dixon Site (a.d. 1041 to 1162).

As I will describe, new evidence from the Emerald shrine center leads me to suggest that religion was fundamental, if not causal, for Cahokia’s urbanism, as well as its rise as North America’s only Pre-Columbian city.","PeriodicalId":319251,"journal":{"name":"Cahokia in Context","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116313067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A.D. 1150 to 1260) contexts at the Lake Providence Mounds in northeast Louisiana. A number of these sherds appeared to represent the remains of vessels from Cahokia or sites in the American Bottom region of southern Illinois, while others likely were local copies of Cahokia vessels. A selected sample of these “exotic” sherds, along with recognized local specimens, were subjected to petrographic thin sectioning (petrographic analysis) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). These analyses suggested that some of the potentially exotic sherds were, indeed, from the American Bottom area, while others could not be sources to a specific region.

In this article, I focus on Cahokia, the largest prehistoric city north of Mexico, and explore the various types of recognizable Cahokia artifacts found scattered in all directions from the site. While I weigh the pros and cons of using these items, I argue that flint clay figurines and pipes were likely associated with the migration of Cahokian religious leaders.
