Abstract
Faunal and floral remains from the J. W. Copes Site in northeast Louisiana provide a basis for examining the nature of prehistoric adaptive systems during the Poverty Point Period (1500–500 B.C.) in the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Local subsistence strategies are inferred, as well as the settlement context from which they were recovered. These provide a basis for making several propositions regarding regional demography and social integration.Keywords
