Abstract

This paper employs a practice-based framework for investigating early Mississippian period culture contact and identity negotiation in the Central Illinois River Valley (CIRV) through the lens offoodways. The Evelandphase (A.D. 1100–1200) was a setting of significant cultural change as a result of the movement of Cahokian people, objects, and ideas into the region. Recent analysis of excavated materials from the Lamb site in the southern portion of the CIRV affords a closer look at this historical process. Using ceramic and pit feature data, I assess Cahokian influence on traditional Late Woodlandera culinary practices. I conclude that although local residents were actively adopting some aspects of Mississippian culture (including Cahokia potting traditions), they retained traditional Late Woodland organizational practices of cooking, serving, and storing food. By placing the organization offoodways at the center of this study, this paper illuminates another dimension of Cahokian contact in the region.

Resumen

Resumen

Este artículo utiliza un enfoque basado en la teoría de la práctica para investigar el contacto cultural y la negociación de identidades durante el periodo Mississippian Temprano en el valle central del río Illinois (CIRV), a través de la óptica de las costumbres alimentarias. Lafase Eveland (AD 1100–1200) fue un escenario de cambio cultural significativo como resultado de la circulatión de personas, objetos e ideas procedentes de Cahokia en la región. Los recientes análisis de materiales excavados del sitio Lamb en la parte sur del CIRV permiten un examen más detallado de este proceso histórico. Usando datos de la cerámica y los pozos del sitio, evalúo la influencia de Cahokia en las prácticas culinarias tradicionales de la población Late Woodland en esta area. Concluyo que aunque los residentes locales estaban adoptando activamente algunos aspectos de la cultura Mississippian (incluyendo la cerámica de estilo Cahokia), conservaron las prácticas organizativas tradicionales de cocinar, servir y almacenar alimentos. Al colocar la organización de las costumbres alimentarias en el centro de este estudio, el presente ensayo ilumina otra dimensión del contacto cultural con Cahokia en la región.
