It was composed of three connected precincts located in the central areas of the northern “American Bottom,” a floodplain along the Mississippi River within what is known as “Greater Cahokia.”

By 1100 CE, Cahokia had become the primary political and administrative hub in the Mississippian midcontinent and Southeast. However, its population and influence began to wane before 1200 CE. The causes for this decline remain uncertain, with theories suggesting climate change, resource depletion, environmental disasters, and socio-political fragmentation.
Archaeological research has extensively focused on reconstructing population dynamics and environmental trends in the American Bottom. Equally important is understanding when significant religious and political changes occurred in and around Cahokia.
