Abstract
Braun examines the mortuary remains from the Klunk-Gibson Mound Group to look for evidence of status based on hereditary or ascriptive ranking. He found that children and adults were buried with higher status artifacts, but not adolescents. He concludes that status was based on what could be achieved during an individual's life time and was primarily male-oriented. A male's higher status could be shared with their closer relatives.
