Abstract
This document strongly suggests the existence of an Emergent Mississippian period preceding the appearance of the Vincennes culture in the Wabash Valley. This period is marked by the development of the Vincennes culture from the earlier Allison-LaMotte culture, as indicated by ceramic evidence and excavation data form the Johns site. It is argued that Vincennes can no longer be considered either a very late Mississippian manifestation or the result of influence from Cahokia and the Ohio Valley centers. The processed responsible for its development must be sought, instead in the general Mississippianization of Late Woodland groups over a broad area of the Midwest at approximately the same time period (p. 263).
