The orthodox view of the Mississippian social world hinges on the idea that chiefdoms vied for power, often violently but at times cooperatively, through political and economic avenues. In From Cahokia to Larson to Moundville, archaeologist A. Martin Byers challenges these assumptions and offers a contrasting view by deconstructing the chiefdom model and offering instead an autonomous social world that focused on spiritual renewal and sacred rituals.
