Aztalan archaeology

Aztalan is an archaeological site in Wisconsin, dating back to 1000-1300 AD, known for its impressive earthen mounds and platforms. It was inhabited by a group of people related to the Mississippian culture, who practiced agriculture, particularly maize farming. The site features large, flat-topped mounds that may have been used for ceremonial purposes or elite residences. Artifacts like pottery, tools, and remnants of structures provide insights into the social, spiritual, and daily lives of its inhabitants. Aztalan is significant for understanding pre-colonial Native American societies in the Midwest and their complex social structures.
