An illustration, acrylic on canvas, of a prehistoric Mississippian village plaza with daily activities of flintknapping, child care, bartering, and food preparation, by historical artist Susan A. Walton, S. A. Walton Studio Hudson, Florida. The artwork is based on the artist’s interaction with experimental archaeologists in Alabama and archaeological reports and journals of archaeology, and volunteer work at Cahokia Mounds World Heritage Site, a Southeastern ceremonial complex site with extensive trade networks.
