Named the Medieval Warm Period, it was a time of great historical change in precolonial North America, as evidenced through archaeology.

Pauketat argues that a common supernatural being-a Wind-that-brings-rain or "Thunderer" deity-emerged because of climatic factors to drive the development of a series of interrelated religious movements across the continent. These movements were based around a common circular shrine or pyramid in or on which people worshipped the powers of the wind and rain-the essential life-giving forces of global climate"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 304.20899 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
