Abstract
Outside of the American Bottom and the Illinois River Valley, the only known concentration of northern Mississippian peoples is in the Apple River Vallley of northwestern Illilnois. After a long period of delay, new archaeological investigations have one again begun in the valley. In this document Emerson reviews these new excavations, as well as previous literature on the area, and establishes a basic cultural chronology for the newly defined Apple River Mississippian culture. In this process he discards the old Apple River Focus formulation and postulates vqrious regional relationships within the specified area of study.
