AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
It has been widely believed by archaeologists that lower valley Late Woodland populations were physically replaced or integrated into American Bottom Mississippian cultural systems after about 1000 A.D. In this article the authors explore the possibility that such assumptions are inaccurate. In the face of these contradictions they propose an alternative model for late prehistoric culture change in the Lower Illinois Valley involving their analysis of Jersey Bluff and Mississippian artifact styles in the valley, radiocarbon date evidence for a post 800 A.D. occupation chronology of the Lower Illinois Valley, an interpretation of the Starr Village data in light of the problem, and finally their suggestion for an alternative model of regional settlement during and after so-called Emergent Mississippian times (pp. 84-85).
