In this volume, Christina Friberg investigates the influence of
Cahokia, the largest city of North America's Mississippian culture
between AD 1050 and 1350, on smaller communities throughout the
midcontinent. Using evidence from recent excavations at the
Audrey-North site in the Lower Illinois River Valley, Friberg
examines the cultural give-and-take Audrey inhabitants experienced
between new Cahokian customs and old Woodland ways of life.
Comparing the architecture, pottery, and lithics uncovered here
with data from thirty-five other sites across five different
regions, Friberg reveals how the social, economic, and political
influence of Cahokia shaped the ways Audrey inhabitants negotiated
identities and made new traditions. Friberg's broad interregional
analysis also provides evidence that these diverse groups of people
were engaged in a network of interaction and exchange outside
Cahokia's control. The Making of Mississippian Tradition offers a
fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of cultural exchange in
precolonial settlements, and its detailed reconstruction of Audrey
society offers a new, more nuanced interpretation of how and why
Mississippian lifeways developed. A volume in the Florida Museum of
Natural History: Ripley P. Bullen Series.
