Spiroan subsistence practices do not support traditional expectations about Indigenous relationships to food production. Intensive food production is associated with the rise of dense nucleated populations and chiefdoms. Evidence of food related activities at Spiro from agricultural practices, settlement patterns, and faunal and botanical analyses contrasts with data from contemporary and comparable communities. Both food practices and religious activities affect the organization of societies. Social complexity models attempt to explain how segments of societies become specialized and increasingly dependent on each other within self-reinforcing structures of power and control, usually through increasingly centralized hierarchies. I argue that understanding food and religion in ways that center Indigenous knowledge in models of social organization that are more adequate explanations of past communities. Between C.E. 1000 and 1500, residents at Spiro utilized a mixed horticultural system combining domesticates, including maize, with wild plants and game animals. Spiro does conform to some patterns observed throughout the Southeast, particularly maize consumption. This discontinuity is not a result of lack of access to maize, which is documented to have reached its highest use in the local region circa C.E. 1300, but was consumed only half as much as by its eastern neighbors. Spiroans had access to maize, but it did not replace their reliance on local, weedy plant varieties, nuts, and animals. Similarly, a lack of contact with large settlements and mound centers throughout the Southeast cannot explain these differences. Materials recovered from Craig Mound indicate extensive contact with communities across the South. This project questions the reasons for subsistence discontinuities observed at Spiro. In particular, my research examines to what extent archaeological correlates of religious practices at Spiro are identifiable, and if they indicate that religion influenced food practices. To assess these possible connections between food and religious practices, I analyzed faunal remains, absorbed food residues, and iconography from Spiro. Then, I identified patterns across these data. By interpreting these data within a theoretical framework that centers animist ontological understandings of the world, I argue that there is a clear correlation between religion and animal use, and, subsequently, food choices. As a result, these data complicate our notion of what constitutes social complexity, tiers of social differentiation, and how we recognize archaeological correlates useful to identifying patterns of social organization.
