| Summary |
One of the most venerable concepts in Southeastern archaeology is that of the Southern Cult. The last comprehensive study of the melding of these concepts into the term Southeastern Ceremonial Complex (SECC) is quite old. This work presents data on the temporal and social contexts, artistic styles, and symbolic themes included in the complex. |
