Emotions, Affective Fields, and Creating a Coalescent Community at the Noble-Wieting Cultural Site
Emotions are a vital part of coalescent communities. Specifically, they help create the broader relational fields in which coalescent communities form; they also dictate the practices and sentiments of community members as well as the impacts of these communities on the wider world. This article examines the “affective fields” that created Noble-Wieting, a late thirteenth-century Langford-Mississippian village in what is now central Illinois. Due…
Cahokian Neighborhood Dynamics: New Geophysical Data from Rouch Mound Group and Rattlesnake West Neighborhoods
In this article we present the results of two geophysical surveys conducted at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site. The goal was to reveal neighborhood settlement patterns at two locales located on the periphery of 'Downtown' Cahokia-the densely populated administrative core-and to further understand the type and chronological affiliation of these settlements. We compared structure length and width ratios from Rattlesnake West and the Rouch Mound …
Circular Mounds and Sweat Lodges in the Greater Cahokia Region
New archaeological and geophysical evidence from the Greater Cahokia region affirms that so-called conical mounds of the Mississippian era were, in fact, flat-topped circular platforms. Historical accounts indicate that such mounds were numerous across the region and were topped by or associated with circular sweat lodges and rotundas and paired with rectangular structures and mounds built in rows or connected by earthen causeways. Our geophysica…

Exploring Heritage Archaeology at Indiana University: Reporting on a Collaboration between Wylie House Museum and the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology
This article is an overview of a collaborative Indiana University (IU) Bicentennial Project designed to explore and raise awareness of the cultural heritage on IU's historic Bloomington campus, protect the university's archaeological resources, contribute to its teaching and research mission, and enhance documentation and interpretation of its historic house museum. The primary project partners were IU's Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology a…
Diasporic Connections: Cahokia and the Greater Southeast
Archaeological Investigations on the Emerald Avenue, a Potential Mississippian Period Roadway in Southwestern Illinois
In this paper, we present our investigations on the Emerald Avenue, a potential Mississippian period (a.d. 1050–1400) roadway in southwestern Illinois. It is hypothesized that this road connected the pre-Columbian city of Cahokia to the Emerald Acropolis, a shrine complex 24 km to the east. To confirm the presence of the Emerald Avenue and document its physical characteristics and chronology, we performed an electrical resistivity tomography surv…
Angel Ethnogenesis and the Cahokian Diaspora
Exploring New Cahokian Neighborhoods: Structure Density Estimates From the Spring Lake Tract, Cahokia
We present the recent results of a magnetometry survey of the Spring Lake Tract conducted during the summer of 2015 at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site located along the Mississippi River Floodplain in southern Illinois. This tract, located southeast of Woodhenge and west of the Grand Plaza, is situated north of two known borrow pits and includes an additional, previously unidentified borrow pit. Through comparing our gradiometer results with o…
