520 8 ‡aA qualitative shift in the political economy and community structure of prehistoric Cahokia is identified, corresponding to changes in the regional settlement patterns. It is inferred that regional political centralization occurred prior to the ultimate sacralization of chiefly authority. There exist indications of an initial (Lohmann-phase, A.D. 1000-1050) collaborative paramountcy legitimized through the control of exotica and esoterica and symbolized by hand-held objects or weaponry. This apparently

520 8 ‡aA relatively fine-scale subphase chronology is developed using K-means grouping and multidimensional-scaling procedures. This chronology permits the measurement of community-organizational and refuse-compositional change using architectural and artifactual evidence from the paramount chiefly center of Cahokia. Diachronic changes in the density of nonlocal items and craft-goods residues originating in the Ozark highlands, the Interior Low Plateau, and the Coastal Plain along with changes in community

520 ‡aPrevious theoretical studies of the civilizing process have considered pre-state political centralization independent of the process of the formation of and interaction between social classes. From a political-cultural perspective, the two are inextricably bound. The regional political consolidation of chiefly authority at Cahokia, located in the Mississippi River floodplain of southwestern Illinois, is to be seen in the context of the long-term development of a cultural hegemony.
