Bøker av Timothy R. Pauketat

This volume provides a theoretical explanation of how pre-historic Cahokia became a stratified society, and ultimately, the pinnacle of Native American cultural achievement north of Mexico. Pauketat claims that political consolidation in this region of the Mississippi happened around AD 1000.

This book sweeps away the last vestiges of social-evolutionary explanations of 'chiefdoms' by rethinking the history of Pre-Columbian Southeast peoples and comparing them to ancient peoples in the Southwest, Mexico, Mesoamerica, and Mesopotamia.
