[Aztlan] Big finds at the Mississippian site of Chesterfield

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

Archaeologists are digging at the Chesterfield site in Missouri and  
finding that it was a major market center for Cahokia. They are  
digging up very ornate bowls in good quantity and thousands of other  
artifacts including copper ear spools from the Great Lakes region,  
tools and beads as well as homes and storage pits. The pottery is of  
the Ramey style made during the height of the Mississippian cultures.  
Deer bones have been found as well indicating ritual feasting. This  
last week, they uncovered a stockade wall. The dig is in its beginning  
stages and already 5000 artifacts have been uncovered.
