Abstract

A small rectangular house floor at the Gresham site, north of Kansas City is assigned on the basis of associated artifacts to the Steed-Kisker focus of Middle Mississippi. The house differs architecturally from the house at the Steed-Kisker site described by Wedel. These differences and other evidence point to the possibility of major cultural transitions in the area during Middle Mississippi time.
