Archaeology of the Moundville chiefdom (New ed.)

At its height the Moundville ceremonial center was a densely occupied town of approximately 1,000 residents, with at least 29 earthen mounds surrounding a central plaza.

Today, Moundville is not only one the largest and best-preserved Mississippian sites in the United States, but also one of the most intensively studied.

This volume brings together nine Moundville specialists who trace the site's evolution and eventual decline.
