Abstract

Archaeological and geomorphological investigations of Little Bluff (47Tr32), in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, reveal how and, possibly, why this loess-capped sandstone ridge spur was anthropogenically altered in the mid-eleventh century A.D. Project excavation units and trenches dug in 2010–2011 revealed the timing, rate of completion, structure, symmetry, and orientation of the construction. In addition to delineating construction details and associated archaeological features, our research suggests that Cahokians, by sculpting and rebuilding this ridge spur, were actively positioning themselves vis-à-vis the wider Mississippi Valley landscape, if not the cosmos generally.

威斯康辛州Trempeleau的Little Bluff(47Tr32)的考古和地貌调查揭示了这座黄土覆盖的砂岩山脊丁坝是如何以及可能的原因在公元11世纪中期被人为改变的。2010-2011年挖掘的项目挖掘单元和沟渠揭示了施工的时间、完成率、结构、对称性和方向。除了描绘建筑细节和相关的考古特征外,我们的研究表明,卡霍基人通过雕刻和重建这座山脊丁坝,即使不是整个宇宙,也在积极地将自己定位在更广阔的密西西比河谷景观中。
