Format: Hardback
Length: 386 pages
Publication date: 13 July 2021
Publisher: Lexington Books
Archaeologists delve into the rich tapestry of Mississippian culture, unearthing evidence of the religious beliefs and ceremonial practices of the indigenous people through the lens of indigenous ontologies and material culture. By employing a multidisciplinary approach, the contributors explore the recent emphasis on iconography as a key tool in interpreting the ancient past of eastern North America. This research emphasizes the interconnectedness of humans and other-than-human beings, challenging the false divide that separates us. Through a diverse range of empirical approaches, the contributors highlight the significance of understanding beliefs and rituals and investigate how people in the past practiced religion and ritual by creating, circulating, utilizing, and ultimately decommissioning material items and spaces, including ceramic effigies, rock art, sacred bundles, shell gorgets, stone figurines, and symbolic weaponry.
