These were made by the Mississippian people,Mississippian Indians
The Mississippian time period started in 800 to 1,300 A.D. They started growing beans, corn, and squash. They used a notched hoe for farming. The pottery was very thin because of shell tempering and had decoration. One method of decorating was made by running a stick across the clay. The houses were about 6 by 8 meters. The Mississippian houses were permanent.
