Abstract
1990s excavations on the riverbank on the northwest edge of Moundville uncovered residential deposits dating to the Moundville I phase (A.D. 1050 - 1250). This article first describes the results of the riverbank excavations and then uses the data from the riverbank combined with information from earlier excavations to examine several aspects of domestic life at Moundville (p. 63).
