Abstract

Archaeological investigations at the Trempealeau and Fisher Mounds Site Complexes in western Wisconsin have provided definitive evidence of settlements and platform mounds in a portion of the Upper Mississippi Valley dating to the early Cahokian era, immediately priorto A.D. 1050 and ending before A.D. 1100. The presence ofCahokian earthen constructions, wall-trench buildings, ceramics, and imported stone tools associated with likely religious buildings and a series of possible farmsteads 900 river km north of Cahokia points to a unique intrusive occupation. We suggest that Trempealeau was a religious installation located proximate to a powerful, storied landform on the Mississippi River that afforded Cahokians access to the animate forces of that region. Probably built by and for Cahokians with minimal involvement on the part of living local people, the timing of this occupation hints at its close relationship to the founding of the American Indian city to the south.

Résumé

Las investigaciones arqueológicas en el Trempealeau y Fisher Montículos Sitio Complejos en el oeste de Wisconsin han proporcionado pruebas definitivas de los asentamientos y los montículos de la plataforma en una parte de la datación Alto Valle del Mississippi a la era Cahokian temprano, inmediatamente antes de 1050 d.C. y terminando antes del año 1100.La presencia de construcciones Cahokian de tierra, edificios pared de la zanja, cerámica y herramientas de piedra importados asociadas con probables edificios religiosos y una serie de alquerías 900 río-km al norte de puntos Cahokia a una ocupación intrusivo único. Sugerimos que Trempealeau era una instalación religiosa situada próximo a una poderosa forma de relieve, pisos en el río Mississippi que proporcionó acceso Cahokians a lasfuerzas animados de esa región. Probablemente construida por y para Cahokians con una mínima participación por parte de los que viven la población local, el momento de la ocupación hace alusión a su estrecha relación con la fundación de la ciudad india de América del sur.
