Abstract
This chapter discusses the distribution and context of Cahokian and Spiroan related artifact finds from northeast Arkansas and adjacent regions. Arguably, the best evidence for Cahokia influence in northeastern Arkansas is the presence of shell items at four sites: two Eddyville-style gorgets from the McDuffee site; the birdman gorget from Old Town Ridge, the Greenbrier gorget and the Akron Cup. Modern dated contexts include a Cahokia Notched point find at the Kochtitzky Ditch site (ca. a.d. 1150 to 1400), and a Ramey Incised vessel with forked-eye motif from the Perry Dixon Site (a.d. 1041 to 1162). In general, the archaeological evidence for Cahokia influence or trade at its climax within northeastern Arkansas is present, but limited.
