This book is the first to specifically trace the movement of
Mississippian maize farmers throughout the US Midwest and
Southeast. By providing a backdrop of shifting climatic conditions
during the period, this volume also investigates the relationship
between farmers and their environments. Detailed regional overviews
of key locations in the Mississippi Valley, the Ohio Valley, and
the peripheries of the Mississippian culture area reveal patterns
and variation in the expression of Mississippian culture and
interactions between migrants and local communities.
Methodologically, the case studies highlight the strengths of
integrating a variety of data sets to identify migration. The
volume provides a broader case study of the links between climate
change, migration, and the spread of agriculture that is relevant
to archaeologists and anthropologists studying early agricultural
societies throughout the world. Key patterns of adaptation to and
mitigation of the effects of droughts, for example, provide a
framework for understanding the options available to societies in
the face of climate change afforded by the time-depth of an
archaeological perspective.
