"[This report] presents qualitative and quantitative data on and initial interpretations of the 3,998 features at East St. Louis that span the Lohmann to early Moorehead phases (AD 1050-1225). The results of the NMRB project lend insight into how social, religious, and political life was structured and changed through time as 'Cahokian Mississippian' waxed and waned. The insights from this project have transformed our understanding of regional culture history and the dynamic interactions that resulted in a new kind of community at the advent of the Mississippian. period"--Abstract.
