متن کاملSocial Complexity at Cahokia
A working group held at the Santa Fe Institute May 28-30, 2013, produced a set of consensus answers to questions about Cahokia, an urban place dating to the 12 and 13 centuries and located in what is today the greater Saint Louis region of Missouri and Illinois.
