A 1997 chapter by the author concluded that evidence of direct interaction between Cahokia and the large Mississippian center at Moundville, Alabama, was negligible. This chapter updates that assessment, especially in light of much recent research on the earliest period at Moundville. Exotic artifacts include infrequent Mill Creek chert bifaces and hoe chips, a Missouri flint clay effigy pipe, and sheet copper objects with possible Cahokia connections. Mound architecture includes a “greathouse” arguably built in a Cahokian style. Even so, evidence of direct contact between the two centers remains minimal, and there is no evidence of Cahokian involvement in Moundville’s emergence.
