NPR’s On Point, with guest host Jacki Lyden, interviews the anthropologist and archaeologist Tim Pauketat from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Professor Pauketat discusses his new book, Cahokia, about his studies and discovories at the site of  the large ancient city on the banks of the mighty Mississippi.  The dig, just outside of St.Louis was home to the “biggest city on American soil that you never heard of,” accoring to Lyden.

Pauketat is also the author of such books as Chiefdoms and Other Archaeological Delusions and Ancient Cahokia and the Mississippians
