Excerpt from The Great Knob: Interpretations of Monks Mound In southern Madison County, Illinois, amid a group of more than one hundred prehistoric earthen mounds in and around the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, stands the largest such earthwork in the New World, known since the early nineteenth century as Cahokia Mound, or, increasingly over the decades, as Monks Mound, after a small band of Trappists who settled briefly in its shadow. Before that, when it was called anything, it was simply the Great Knob. Descriptions of this pile of earth have varied considerably over the two centuries for which we have records. Ifthere is a common thread that runs through them all, it is this: Monks Mound bears explana tion. Although its human origin has long been settled, this was not always so. Even recent descriptions and interpretations have suffered from the influence of preconceived notions of its function in prehistoric times. Surprisingly, despite the importance of the physical appearance of Monks Mound in the attempt to understand its function, no rigorous study has been made of its changing characteristics since European contact, with the possible exception of the work of Warren K. Moorehead in the 19208 and 3os. Moorehead compiled a great deal of data concerning the history of the mound, but stopped short of a careful analysis of its reliability. The question remains: has Monks Mound deteriorated to its present configuration from some pristine geometric perfection, or did it always look more or less as it does to day? Indeed, what precisely is its present shape? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cahokia Mound Group and Its Village Site Materials The burials had all been placed on the floor a few feet apart with their feet to the west. All of the burials, 20 to 30 in number, were accompanied by a very large number of disc shell or Marginella beads, but in no instance were both types of beads found with the same burial. The disc shell beads were found with most of the burials and in numbers sufficient to completely cover the individual from his thighs to his head. The Marginella beads were de posited with only 5 or 6 of the burials in the southern end of the vault, and with each there were from 4 to 6 quarts. These beads are small and average about tothe quart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Cahokia Mounds explores the history behind this buried American city inhabited from about AD 700 to 1400, that was almost lost in metropolitan expansions of the 1960s and 1970s, but later became one of the best understood archeological sites in North America.

Excerpt from Archaeology at French Colonial Cahokia The historic French village of Cahokia, established in 1699 as a mission among the Tamaroa and Cahokia Indians, is the oldest permanent euro-american settlement on the Mississippi River. Cahokia was one of several eighteenth-century villages and forts established in the ter ritory known as the Illinois Country (figure The other French set tlements located in the American Bottom region on the eastern side of the Mississippi River included Kaskaskia Fort de Chartres (ca. Prairie du Rocher (ca. And St. Philippe (ca. Across the Mississippi River in Missouri are the historic French settlements of Ste. Genevieve (ca. 1750) and St. Louis Throughout most of the eighteenth century, these frontier settlements represented the westernmost outreaches of the French Regime, with governmental headquarters in Quebec, Canada, historically known as New France. The villages played a vital economic role in the fur trade and served as a political connection between New France and settlements to the south, such as New Orleans, along the Mississippi River. The historical remnants of this French network in and around the American Bottom is known today as the French Colonial District.
