Troyville culture

It was contemporaneous with the Coastal Troyville and Baytown cultures (all three had evolved from the Marksville Hopewellian peoples) and was succeeded by the Coles Creek culture.

[1] Where the Baytown peoples built dispersed settlements, the Troyville people instead continued building major earthwork centers.

[2][3] The Troyville-Coles Creek people lived on gathered wild plants and local domesticates, and maize was of only minor importance.

[4] Acorns, persimmons, palmetto, maygrass, and squash were all more important than maize.

[4] Tobacco was cultivated as well, and protein came from deer and smaller mammals, but the bounty of the region kept maize from being adopted as a staple until as late as the thirteenth century CE.
