The spatial patterning of the Adams site, a Mississippian town in western Kentucky

This study examines relationships between parts of a western Kentucky Mississippian town and how observed spatial relationships reflect human ones both within the town and between town occupants and outsiders, providing a basic model of Mississippian town development in the region. The site is consistent with chiefdom social organization conceived in the non-evolutionary framework of Adams' (1975; 1977; 1981) theory of social power and with Clay's (1976) strategic or operations sites.
