AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In the western periphery of the eastern Woodlands, J. Daniel Rogers compares the nature of small settlements throughout the Arkansas Basin of eastern Oklahoma, with particular reference to the communities in the vicinity of the Spiro site. Using data derived from nearly 200 dwellings … he examines changes through time in the distribution and architectural characteristics. While the settlement pattern is very dispersed throughout Emergent Mississippian and later periods, shifts in population and the organization of communities support the notion of authority derived increasingly from supra-local sources (32: Rogers, p. 4).
