1st culture of Georgia.• Created better techniques for fishing, gathering,

to hunt small animals, plus chop down trees.

winter & early spring months.• Indians began to live in larger groups called
tribes or clans.

following features of civilization (advanced cities):
1. cities that were centers of trade2. specialized jobs (jobs that required training) 3. organized religion and government4. record keeping (supplies and traded items) 5. advanced tools• Mississippian society was organized into social

Mississippian Indian Period
• Towns had 20 flat-topped pyramids with wooden palisades or moats made of dirt.
• These flat-topped pyramids of the Mississippian culture are also found in Mexico and Guatemala. This suggests they had contact with cultures of Mexico and Guatemala.
• Also, their pottery shows Mexican influence.• Their artifacts include: stone axes, bowls, & pipes• The Mississippians had no writing system or stone
architecture.

The End of Mississippian Indians
• Artifacts suggest that the Indian settlements in Georgia were abandoned after only 200 years of living there. Why?
• The Mississippian Indians were the first to meet the Europeans when they came to explore North America.
• The Mississippian Indians were devastated by the diseases that the Europeans brought.
![Page 22: Unit 2: North American Cultures SS8H1: SS8H1: The student will evaluate the development of Native American culture and the impact of European exploration](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ec95503460f94bd7843/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What do anthropologists think? • Artifacts suggest many reasons why the Mississippian Indians
disappeared: 1. Overcrowding of villages2. European diseases killed them. 3. Diseases caused by unclean villages.
• The truth is that WE DON’T KNOW what happened to them! What is your hypothesis?
• The few Indians who survived from the Mississippian period banded together to create new Indian cultures. These cultures were the Creek, Cherokee, and Seminole. They are NOT part of the prehistoric Indian period because they were around when WRITTEN Native American history began.
