Description
Through a study of the specialized art forms of the Southeastern
Ceremonial Complex, and an investigation of the settlement patterns
in which this Complex occurred, hypothetical reconstructions of
certain Late Mississippian social and religious systems have been
presented. It seems highly probable that this ceremonial material
formed the ritual paraphernalia of the controlling dignitaries
within a Cult organization which functioned as a state religion in
widely separated cultural areas. Although dependent upon an agricultural
base and, consequently, related to fertility ceremonies,
the Complex was mainly oriented towards offensive warfare and
expansion through conquest.
