By about A. D. 500 the Mound Builder culture was declining, perhaps because of attacks from other tribes or perhaps because of severe climatic changes that undermined agriculture. To the west, another culture, based on intensive agriculture, was beginning to flourish. Its center was beneath present day St Louis, and it radiated out to enclose most of the Mississippi watershed, from Wisconsin to Louisiana and Oklahoma to Tennessee. Thousands of villages were included in its orbit By about A. D. 700 this Mississippian culture, as it is known to archaeologists, began to send its influence eastward to transform the life of most of the less technologically advanced woodland tribes. Like the Mound Builders of the Ohio region, these tribes, probably influenced by Meso-American cultures through trade and commerce, built gigantic mounds as burial and ceremonial places. The largest of them, rising in four terraces to a height of one hundred feet, has a rectangular base of nearly fifteen acres, larger than that of the Great Pyramid of Egypt Built between A. D. 900 and 1, 100, this huge earthwork faces the site of a cliffy Indian city which contained more than one hundred small artificial mounds marking burial sites. Spread among them was a vast settlement containing some 30, 000 people by current estimations. The finely crafted ornaments and tools recovered at Cahokis.as this center of Mississippi culture is called, include elaborate ceramics, finely sculpted stonework, carefully embossed and engraved copper and mica sheets, and one funeral blanket fashioned from 12, 000 shell beads. They indicate that Cahokia was a true urban center, with clustered housing, markets, and specialists in tool-making, hide-dressing , potting Jewelry-making, weaving, and salt-making. [br] In relation to the Mississippian culture, the Mound Builder culture was located______.
