history” didn’t happen just in famous places like Rome, Tikal and Angkor
Wat.  It happened also in the heart of North America.  Modern St.
Louis residents may not realize that their city once hosted a complex Native
American culture, represented by a cluster of mounds, possibly an actual city
rivaling Cahokia across the Mississippi River.  A small army of
scientists, while uncovering thousands of prehistoric Native American
archaeological sites around this fertile convergence of rivers, has some
fascinating questions about what took place here.</span></p>
