Negotiating Migration and Violence in the Pre-Columbian Mid-Continent: A View from the Village

Author(s): Jodie OGorman; Nicole Silva; Michael Conner

Year: 2015

Summary

Multiple lines of evidence from Morton Village presented in the poster symposium are brought together to consider the social context of marked violence evidenced at Norris Farms 36 cemetery. This current work sheds light on the complexity and context of social interactions whereby migrant and resident populations negotiated a level of cooperation and support by creating new mechanisms for social integration in the village.
