After you watch the documentary, you have to answer this discussion question. Human complexity in the American Bottomlands of the Mississippi Valley expressed itself through the 'mound building' traditions of the Adena, Hopewell and Mississippian peoples. Archaeologists studying these societies have used multiple techniques to answer questions about the lives of these Native Americans. Compared to the study of the Southwest -- a different environment -- what varying methods can you identify that are different from ones used in the articles / film about Chaco Canyon? When considering the culture of the Moundbuilders versus those of the Pueblos, what aspects of their complex societies are similar? What types of evidence demonstrate difference? Offer specific examples that may relate to food ways, burials, cosmology, demographics, architecture or material culture (i.e. clothing, jewelry). Responses are a paragraph in length and may include a question. You also have to use some articles that I will provide about the Chaco Canyon.
