The Hoecake Site:Marking the Woodland-Mississippian Transition in Southeast Missouri.
Author(s): Clare Conner
Year: 2015
Summary
The Hoecake site is a Late Woodland to Early Mississippian (A.D. 500-1100) site, located in the Cairo Lowland in southeast Missouri. This mound site contained as many as thirty to fifty mounds at one time, some of which contained burials. Multiple excavations were done at the site in the 1960s as part of the land leveling salvage archaeological work done in the area at the time. Other than an initial report of the excavations, no major analysis has been done on the site until now. The ceramic assemblage will be the focus of this analysis, in order to gain a better understanding of the transition from the Woodland period to the Mississippian period in southeast Missouri.
