Context:
The Southeastern United States witnessed the development of highly organized agrarian societies in what are now the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Illinois. In the 12th century, some of the cities of this civilization had populations of over 100,000 people. Their ceramics are often decorated with curvilinear motifs related to mythical themes of the sky and water.
