Description
Jake Pfaffenroth of the UW-Madison presents research that uses unpublished field maps from past excavations to suggest that the ancient village of Aztalan was a hybridized community in which its Mississippian and Late Woodland residents were equally influenced by each other. From this perspective, describing Aztalan as a Mississippian village only tells part of the story.
