The archaeological record pertaining to various regional Mississippian culture sequences (A.D. 900-1540) is a laboratory for developing and testing models of change and stability in chiefdom-level societies. Recently, the major thrust of Mississippian research has been to understand the culture as an adaptive system and account for the dramatic organizational changes evident over several hundred years. In order to do this more effectly, tighter chronologies are needed. This project has two specific objectives: to develop a theoretical model to explain site variability in Kent phase, Mississippian culture sites in the southeastern United States; and to develop and calibrate a regional ceramic chronology which will permit more sophisticated measuring of population trends and settlement pattern changes during the Mississippian period. The student will excavate two stratified middens, Clay Hill and the Kent Site, in eastern Arkansas. Determining the development of late Mississippian society is an important question in archaeology, one addressed most effectively at a regional level.

考古记录显示， 密西西比文化序列（公元900-1540年）是一个实验室 开发和测试变化和稳定性的模型， 酋长级社会。 最近， 密西西比的研究一直把文化理解为 适应系统和帐户的戏剧性组织 几百年来的变化很明显。 为了做到这 更有效地，需要更严格的年表。 该项目有两个具体目标： 解释肯特阶段场地变异性的理论模型， 美国东南部的密西西比文化遗址; 并制定和校准区域陶瓷年表， 将允许对人口趋势进行更复杂的测量， 密西西比时期的定居模式发生了变化。 的 学生将挖掘两个分层的贝冢，粘土山和 位于阿肯色州东部的肯特遗址。 决定密西西比晚期社会发展的是 考古学中的一个重要问题， 在区域一级有效。
