Mississippian Trade
This artist’s rendition depicts a scene in the daily life of the ancient Mississippian city of Cahokia, located near present-day St. Louis, Missouri. Mississippian peoples established far-flung trading networks to exchange ceramics, copper, seashells, salt, stone hoes, and many other commodities. Mississippian culture flourished from about ad 800 until European explorers arrived in the Americas.
