What time period did the mississippians live in?

The Mississippian culture thrived in North America from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE. This period is characterized by the development of complex societies, large earthen mounds, and extensive trade networks, particularly in the southeastern United States. The Mississippians are known for their agricultural practices, particularly maize cultivation, which supported their urban centers. Their civilization declined by the time European explorers arrived in the 16th century.
