Aztalan
Aztalan is an ancient archaeological site in Wisconsin, once occupied by the Mississippian culture around 900 to 1100 CE. It features sophisticated earthwork mounds, large wooden platform structures, and a surrounding stockade wall, indicating it was an important political and ceremonial center. The site provides insight into early Native American society, their complex social organization, and their calendar-based rituals. Aztalan's remains reveal a community capable of advanced engineering and communal effort, reflecting the broader Mississippian tradition of mound-building and regional influence in pre-Columbian North America.
