Question

Describe in what ways the anasazi and cahokia cultures changed over time

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: They will go from building ceremonial centers to build defensive structures, together with emigration, contact with Europeans, climate change, and social tensions.

Explanation:

The Middle Mississippian period is often considered the highlight of the Mississippian era. The expansion of the great ceremonial complex in Cahokia, the formation of another great complex by some headquarters, the propagation of the Southeast Ceremonial Complex, the development of art and symbolism are characteristic of this period of changes. The Mississippian features mentioned above became widespread throughout the Mississippian region. In most archeological sites, this period covers period c. 1200-1400 d. C.

The late Mississippian period is usually considered from c. 1400 until contact with Europeans and is characterized by the increase in the number of military conflicts, political turmoil and population movements. The population of Cahokia is dispersed at the beginning of this period (1350-1400), perhaps because of emigration to other political centers. During this period more defensive structures are built than in previous periods and, sometimes, there is also a decrease in the construction of mounds and ceremonial centers. Although some areas continued to maintain an essentially Mississippian culture until the first significant contact with Europeans, most areas had experienced population dispersion and severe social tensions by the year 1500. These tensions, which sometimes coincide with the complete cultural collapse from a given site, they coincide with the global climate change called the Little Ice Age, which for example will affect the culture of the Anasazi, contemporary of the Mississippian culture.  

The answer is: They will go from building ceremonial centers to build defensive structures, together with emigration, contact with Europeans, climate change, and social tensions.

Answer 2

Ways that the Anasazi and the Cahokia cultures changed over time is because of their own cultures and traditions. They both have separate ways and methods in how they live their lives and how they cope up with the environment and with the people around them.
