UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology
Seminar Series in War, Conflict and Society
CITY WALLS AND FRONTIER FORTIFICATIONS:
INTERREGIONAL VARIATION IN LATE PREHISTORIC
WARFARE IN MIDWESTERN NORTH AMERICA
Gregory D. Wilson
Reception to Follow after the Lecture
Wilson compares evidence of fortifications, catastrophic burning, weaponry,
and skeletal trauma from the Mississippian (A.D. 1000-1425) American Bottom
and Central Illinois River Valley (CIRV), revealing variation between these regions
in terms of the scale, intensity, and outcomes of inter-group hostilities.
Cahokia as an expansive and politically complex regional polity was more
insulated from the chronic raiding and sporadic, large-scale, direct confrontations
that took place in the CIRV. Settlements in the CIRV were smaller and less
politically complex frontier towns in which warfare was an escalating phenomenon
that ultimately culminated in the abandonment of the region.

The talk will draw on our nearly 10 years of fieldwork in the middle St.Johns, as well as some recent analyses, that help us to understand how Archaic communities dealt with a constantly drowning environment. Dr. Sassaman will briefly relate this work to some of the modern issues surrounding science and politics of climate change.
