A central ceremonial plaza provided the nucleus of a Mississippian town, and each settlement had one or more pyramidal or oval earth mounds, surmounted by a temple or chief’s residence, grouped around the plaza. This settlement pattern was typical of most of Middle America (central and southern Mexico and Guatemala) since as early as 850 bce, but it had not diffused into North America until the advent of the Mississippian culture. The scale of public works in the Mississippian culture can be estimated from the largest of the earthworks, Monks Mound, in the Cahokia Mounds near Collinsville, Illinois, which is approximately 1,000 feet (300 metres) long, 700 feet (200 metres) wide, and 100 feet (30 metres) high.

Nearby, cars drove by on a narrow road and a group of squat fuel tanks cast long shadows in the early morning sun. The place looked like the outskirts of a typical farm town, but the two archaeologists with me had uncovered something that couldn’t be seen with the human eye: not far below the ground were some shadowy blobs, arranged in a circular pattern.
