| Summary: | Through a study of the specialized art forms of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex, and an investigation of the settlement patterns in which this Complex occurred, hypothetical reconstructions of certain Late Mississippian social and religious systems have been presented. It seems highly probable that this ceremonial material formed the ritual paraphernalia of the controlling dignitaries within a Cult organization which functioned as a state religion in widely separated cultural areas. Although dependent upon an agricultural base and, consequently, related to fertility ceremonies, the Complex was mainly oriented towards offensive warfare and expansion through conquest. | |
