This area includes a wide range of landscapes, biotas, and cultures and this diversity is mirrored in the Cahokia-related manifestations found throughout the region.

One of those changes was the creation of an elite mortuary mound and the placement of people with foreign and finely-crafted objects in it. Many of those objects were made in the Central Mississippi Valley and some came from the Cahokian sphere. The nature and distribution of those objects leads me to infer that they came with people rather than through exchange. The people were prominent families who left Cahokia in search of new places to be important. The objects were their ritual regalia and paraphernalia.

Radiocarbon and TL dating indicates the site was occupied from the late tenth through early 14th centuries AD, with construction activity at Mound A occurring between approximately AD 1100 and 1340, with major stages erected during the early and mid-13th century. The Shiloh center was thus emerging during Cahokia’s Stirling phase, from ca. AD 1100–1200, and reached its peak during the subsequent Morehead Phase, from AD 1200–1300. Shiloh, like Cahokia itself, was abandoned sometime around AD 1300. Shiloh’s Mississippian center apparently emerged amid local Late Woodland peoples who apparently made little prior use of the location, suggesting an amalgamation of differing populations or social groups, much as Cahokia itself was likely formed.","PeriodicalId":319251,"journal":{"name":"Cahokia in Context","volume":"30 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":"132039804","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}

Flint clay figures and a broad range of copper items including cut sheet copper hand symbols and long-nose god maskettes likely were brought to the Caddo area following visitations or pilgrimages to Cahokia during the 11th century. Movement of ritual items from Cahokia may have been accompanied by the transfer of ideas that modified Caddo religious practices, legitimized social divisions, and institutionalized positions of authority. The passage of people, information, and goods facilitated the establishment of new cultural traditions at local levels, and connected people in the Caddo area to the increasingly integrated “Mississippian” world in eastern North America.","PeriodicalId":319251,"journal":{"name":"Cahokia in Context","volume":"18 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":"122186390","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}
