Traditionally known as the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex, these artifacts of copper, shell, stone, clay, and wood were the subject of the groundbreaking 2007 book Ancient Objects and Sacred Realms: Interpretations of Mississippian Iconography, which presented a major reconstruction of the rituals, cosmology, ideology, and political structures of the Mississippian peoples. Visualizing the Sacred advances the study of Mississippian iconography by delving into the regional variations within what is now known as the Mississippian Iconographic Interaction Sphere (MIIS). Bringing archaeological, ethnographic, ethnohistoric, and iconographic perspectives to the analysis of Mississippian art, contributors from several disciplines discuss variations in symbols and motifs among major sites and regions across a wide span of time and also consider what visual symbols reveal about elite status in diverse political environments. These findings represent the first formal identification of style regions within the Mississippian Iconographic Interaction Sphere and call for a new understanding of the MIIS as a network of localized, yet interrelated religious systems that experienced both continuity and change over time. 410 0$aLinda Schele series in Maya and pre-Columbian studies. 606 $aMississippian culture 606 $aMississippian art 606 $aIndian cosmology$zMississippi River Valley$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aIndians of North America$zMississippi River Valley$xReligion 606 $aVisions$zMississippi River Valley$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aRegionalism$zMississippi River Valley$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aMississippi River Valley$xAntiquities 607 $aMiddle West$xAntiquities 607 $aSouthern States$xAntiquities 607 $aEast (U.S.)$xAntiquities 615 0$aMississippian culture. 615 0$aMississippian art. 615 0$aIndian cosmology$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xReligion. 615 0$aVisions$xHistory 615 0$aRegionalism$xHistory 676 $a977 701 $aLankford$b George E.$f1938-$01468631 701 $aReilly$b F.
