This study examines complexity in the Cahokia region through the analysis of an upland village called the Grossmann site. Rather than relying on conventional models for understanding complexity, I evaluate complexity by looking at "how were they complex", rather than asking "were they complex". When viewed outside of the conventional models it is possible to detail the ways Cahokian people were complex, and to better understand the Cahokian polity. It is proposed that complexity did not emerge and emanate from single political centers, but was continuously produced at a series of ritual sites and settlements throughout the region as people enacted or commemorated their identities daily.

520 $a This study examines complexity in the Cahokia region through the analysis of an upland village called the Grossmann site. Rather than relying on conventional models for understanding complexity, I evaluate complexity by looking at "how were they complex", rather than asking "were they complex". When viewed outside of the conventional models it is possible to detail the ways Cahokian people were complex, and to better understand the Cahokian polity. It is proposed that complexity did not emerge and emanate from single political centers, but was continuously produced at a series of ritual sites and settlements throughout the region as people enacted or commemorated their identities daily.
520 $a In this study I use micro-scale evidence of day to day living and macroscale regional comparisons, to suggest that toward the end of the Lohmann phase (A.D. 1050-1100), a series of administrative centers were founded in order to more fully integrate upland people into the Cahokian sphere. This in turn, was accomplished through communal commemorative rituals. As this study demonstrates, the Grossmann site was the location of a Cahokian administrative center, mediating relationships between the Cahokian elite and upland farmers. The interactions of farmers and Cahokians at places like Grossmann were a key element in the production of Mississippian culture, as well a new kind of social and political complexity.
