Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Southeastern Ceremonial Complex (traditionally Southern Death Cult, later also Southern Cult or Chiefly Warfare Cult) is the name given to the regional stylistic similarity of artifacts, iconography, ceremonies and mythology of the Mississippian culture that coincided with their adoption of maize agriculture and chiefdom-level complex social organization from 1200 CE to 1650 CE. Contrary to popular belief, this development appears to have no direct links to Mesoamerica, but developed independently. This Ceremonial Complex represents a major component of the religion of the Mississippian peoples, and is one of the primary means by which their religion is understood. Much of what we call a "complex" is more of an "exchange network." This kind of connection may be illustrated by a pair of gorgets whose representation is so similar as to suggest that they were made by the same artist. One is from southeast Missouri and the other from Spiro Mounds in Oklahoma. There are a number of other pairs of extremely similar gorgets that serve to link sites across the entire Southeast.
