Cahokia Mounds State - USA

Cahokia Mounds, some 13 km north-east of St Louis, Missouri, is the largest pre-Columbian settlement north of Mexico. 

It was occupied primarily during the Mississippian period (800–1400), when it covered nearly 1,600 ha and included some 120 mounds. 

It is a striking example of a complex chiefdom society, with many satellite mound centres and numerous outlying hamlets and villages. 

This agricultural society may have had a population of 10–20,000 at its peak between 1050 and 1150. 

Primary features at the site include Monks Mound, the largest prehistoric earthwork in the Americas, covering over 5 ha and standing 30 m high.
