In this volume, contributors show how stylistic and iconographic
analyses of Mississippian imagery provide new perspectives on the
beliefs, narratives, public ceremonies, ritual regimes, and
expressions of power in the communities that created the artwork.
Exploring various methodological and theoretical approaches to
pre-Columbian visual culture, these essays reconstruct dynamic
accounts of Native American history across the U.S. Southeast.
These case studies offer innovative examples of how to use style to
identify and compare artifacts, how symbols can be interpreted in
the absence of writing, and how to situate and historicize
Mississippian imagery. They examine designs carved into shell,
copper, stone, and wood or incised into ceramic vessels, from
spider iconography to owl effigies and depictions of the cosmos.
They discuss how these symbols intersect with memory, myths, social
hierarchies, religious traditions, and other spheres of Native
American life in the past and present. The tools modeled in this
volume will open new horizons for learning about the culture and
worldviews of past peoples.
