In Mississippian Culture Heroes, Ritual Regalia, and Sacred
Bundles, archaeologists analyze evidence of the religious beliefs
and ritual practices of Mississippian people through the lens of
indigenous ontologies and material culture. Employing
archaeological, ethnographic, and ethnohistoric evidence, the
contributors explore the recent emphasis on iconography as an
important component for interpreting eastern North America's
ancient past. The research in this volume emphasizes the animistic
nature of animals and objects, erasing the false divide between
people and other-than-human beings. Drawing on an array of
empirical approaches, the contributors demonstrate the importance
of understanding beliefs and ritual and the significance of
investigating how people in the past practiced religion and ritual
by crafting, circulating, using, and ultimately decommissioning
material items and spaces, including ceramic effigies, rock art,
sacred bundles, shell gorgets, stone figurines, and symbolic
weaponry.
