Reihe: Mercer University Ocmulgee Series

Daniel Bigman's research places Ocmulgee's development in the context of other large Early Mississippian mound centers and communities in the geographic region. Bigman argues that Ocmulgee is not a ""mystery""--something odd and different--but rather a case study in understanding the interactions among Mississippian communities and how Ocmulgee's struggle for power shaped an individual settlement while leadership roles evolved and social inequality fluctuated.
