Aztalan and the Northern Tier of a Cahokia Hinterland

Aztalan and the Northern Tier of a Cahokia Hinterland reveals the diverse cultural and environmental manifestations of Mississippian-related occupations extending from central Illinois into the upper Great Lakes region. The study identifies a northern tier within Cahokia's hinterland, characterized by varied landscapes and biotas, which includes sites like Trempealeau, Fred Edwards, and Aztalan. By comparing these complexes, the research highlights the regional diversity of Mississippian cultures, suggesting a complex interplay between environment and human occupation in this area.
