　　The fascinating story of a lost city and an

unprecedented American civilization

While Mayan

and Aztec civilizations are widely known and documented, relatively

few people are familiar with the largest prehistoric Native

American city north of Mexico-a site that expert Timothy Pauketat

brings vividly to life in this groundbreaking book. Almost a

thousand years ago, a city flourished along the Mississippi River

near what is now St. Louis. Built around a sprawling central plaza

and known as Cahokia, the site has drawn the attention of

generations of archaeologists, whose work produced evidence of

complex celestial timepieces, feasts big enough to feed thousands,

and disturbing signs of human sacrifice. Drawing on these

fascinating finds, Cahokia presents a lively and astonishing

narrative of prehistoric America.
