MISSISSIPPIAN PERIOD (A.D. 800 to A.D. 1499) Mississippian period society in the eastern United States centered around some of the most spectacular prehistoric ceremonial centers ever constructed in North America. Large flat top temple mounds are the most impressive structures left behind. The largest of these is 103 feet high and located just east of St. Louis, Missouri on the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site. The Mississippian people lived within a very well organized culture in cities (Cahokia), villages and farmsteads. They had far ranging trade routes that brought in copper from the Great Lakes, sea shells from the Gulf Coast, and various types of stone such as Mill Creek chert from southern Illinois for making digging implements and other tools. These people were farmers who were largely dependent on agriculture to procure most of their food. They raised large fields of corn, squash, beans, sunflowers and tobacco.
