Abstract
The Lower Mississippi River Valley was a pivotal geographic feature in the prehistoric exchange systems of central North America because it was the longest north—south corridor for river-borne trade in the continent. The river and intertwined swamps were a significant barrier to east—west overland movement. Paradoxically, this caused many of the major prehistoric trade centers to be on the fringes of the Lower Mississippi River valley.
