Abstract
In this article Woods and Holley offer a perspective on the upland Mississippian utilization and occupation around the American Bottom region. Their research has shown the complexity of the Mississipppian expansion into the uplands, which involved the formation of small farmsteads, hamlets, and multi-mound town sites in such locations. This upland-oriented research provides major insights into the stages of Cahokian culture history and the Mississippian dispersion (Emerson and Lewis, 1991, no. 3, p. viii). The authors' analysis of their data show that Mississippian developments in the interior uplands were complementary to the American Bottom sequence
