Sequence Stratigraphy of Middle-Mississippian Carbonates of the Southern Appalachians: Tuscumbia Limestone, Tuscumbia, AL
… histories of low-latitude, shallow-water, Mississippian carbonate deposits (Fort Payne Chert and Tuscumbia Limestone) in northwestern Alabama. This in turn, is used to evaluate controls on deposition (e.g., sea level, tectonics, paleogeography, and paleoceanographic conditions). …

Petrography, Diagenesis and Depositional Models of the St. Louis Limestone, Valmeyeran (Middle Mississippian), Illinois Basin, u.s.a. (United States)
The Valmeyeran (Middle Mississippian) St. Louis Limestone of the Illinois Basin was studied through eight cores and six field sections. Detailed petrography of 1542 oriented thin sections led to recognition of 16 carbonate microfacies. The vertical succession, reciprocal (lateral and vertical) …

Paleopathology at the Shady Grove Site (22QU525): A Study of Health in the Upper Yazoo Basin During the Middle Mississippian Period
<p>The Mississippian Period (AD 1000-1539) is characterized by increasingly sedentary populations, mound building, ranked societies, and intensified agriculture. As agriculture spread throughout the Eastern Woodlands, it led to widespread health consequences, including poor nutrition and increased …

Influence of the West Virginia Dome on paleocurrent patterns in the Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian Price Formation in the Central Appalachians
Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian sedimentation was influenced by a positive area known as the West Virginia Dome located in the Central Appalachians of West Virginia. Paleocurrent data collected from the Price Formation demonstrates the significance of the dome on paleoflow patterns. Exposures in …

One Big Puzzle, Two Thousand Tiny Pieces: An Analysis of the Juvenile Remains from the Shady Grove Ossuary
… of the juvenile remains excavated in 2010 from a Middle Mississippian ossuary at the Shady Grove site (22QU525), located in the Mississippi Delta. This project presents a clear challenge given the commingled and incomplete nature of the sample, as well as the preservation biases associated with …

MISSISSIPPIAN COMMUNITY-MAKING THROUGH EVERYDAY ITEMS AT KINCAID MOUNDS
… Kincaid Mounds during the latter portion of its Mississippian period occupation, with a focus on how community was constructed and maintained within and through time. I do so using evidence from the non-discursive aspects of ceramic and architectural manufacture under the assumption that the …

Sequence stratigraphy and the development of a clinoformal carbonate ramp on an abandoned delta system: Mississippian Fort Payne--Salem Interval, Kentucky
Middle Mississippian ramp carbonates in Kentucky (Fort Payne to Salem interval) form a large scale depositional supersequence (0 to 500 feet thick, approximately 8 m. y. duration). It formed on and in front of the abandoned Early Mississippian Borden deltaic marine paleoshelf, which had up to 100 m …

Subsurface study of the Lee formation in Buchanan County, Virginia
… indicate that rocks of Devonian and Early and Middle Mississippian age were deposited in a stable shelf environment, an environment dissimilar to that of the Lee Formation consisting predominantly of continental beds. Published regional surface data supported by 11thologic analysis and isopach …

Transforming material relationships: 13th century revitalization of Cahokian religious-politics
The rise and eventual decline of Cahokia, the largest pre-Columbian city north of Mexico, reverberated deeply within the historical trajectories of the North American mid-continent and southeast. The 11th century emergence of this multi-ethnic, multi-vocal metropolis appears to have been deeply …
