  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.

  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…

  Excavations were conducted in 1997 and 2004 along a 1200 m-long waterline corridor through the middle of the central plaza at Cahokia, the largest and possibly earliest Mississippian period (A.D. 1050–1350) population center in North America. These excavations provide a unique window into previously unknown aspects of the construction and use history of this singular monumental space. Built as the centerpiece of Cahokia's city plan in the middle …
