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.Â
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.Â
