The Spatial Distribution of Domestic Facilities in the Multiethnic Morton Village Site

Summary

With mounting evidence demonstrating cohabitation between Mississippian and Oneota groups at the Morton Village site, data regarding domestic facilities are crucial for examining how these two distinct groups interacted and influenced one another in their daily lives. The distribution of house types (wall trench versus single post) provides interesting evidence for some degree of segregation between the two, while data from features suggests a more complex and intermingled relationship. This poster will explore and compare these two distinct data sets, discussing several possible explanations for how these groups navigated the complex social atmosphere created by the Oneota migration into the central Illinois River valley.
