At its height, the Moundville ceremonial center was a densely occupied town of approximately 1,000 residents, with at least 29 earthen mounds surrounding a central plaza. Today, Moundville is not only one of the largest and best-preserved Mississippian sites in the United States, but also one of the most intensively studied. This volume brings together nine Moundville specialists who trace the site's evolution and eventual decline.
The latest contributions to a 30-year, long-term collaboration that has produced critically important data and theories for the understanding of Mississippian social formations. - Antiquity
