Date Issued:
1973
Summary:
The Mississippian sites present in the Lower Red River Mouth area cover two culture periods called Coles Creek and rlaquemine. From approximately 850 to 1600 A.D., these cultures, economically based on hoe agriculture, functioned on a statal level of socio-political organization more complex than the cultures preceding them in the Red River Mouth area. A presentation of settlement data on sites representative of these cultures along with economic, burial, ceramic and nonceramic details will show that cultural continuity existed in this area and culture change occurred, during which the change was from simple chiefdom to complex state.
