Mississippian Cultural Sequences in the Savannah River Valley; References Cited; IndexThis volume explores political change in chiefdom's, specifically how complex chiefdom's emerge and collapse, and how this process-called cycling-can be examined using archaeological, ethnohistoric, paleoclimatic, paleosubsistence, and physical anthropological data. The focus for the research is the prehistoric and initial contact-era Mississippian chiefdom's of the Southeastern United States, specifically the societies occupying the Savannah River basin from ca. A.D. 1000 to 1600.
