The Mississippian culture, which thrived from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE, is known for its complex societies, agriculture (particularly corn, beans, and squash), and large earthen mounds used for ceremonial and political purposes. They were not primarily hunter-gatherers or cliff dwellers as described in Choices A and B.
