Summary
"Covering almost fourteen square kilometers in Illinois, Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site is the largest prehistoric mound center in North America. Moorehead's archaeological investigations conducted at Cahokia from 1921 to 1927 confirmed that the mounds were built by indigenous peoples." "Moorehead's work represented important excavations at a time when little other similar work was being done in the Midwest.
