AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document provides the reader with a brief history of research at Cahokia, the current culture history, and an in-depth discussion of modeling both Cahokian development and regional interaction. Hall has been one of the few scholars to deal in a broad perspective with the factors that may have been critical in the formation and dissolution of Cahokian society. In this study the author weaves an intriguing picture of environmental and subsistence changes, shifts in trade networks, political inflluences, and ritual relationships which taken together form a holistic perspective of this complex society.
