Answer 1

A. They lived in settled villages and farmed, allowing for the growth of large populations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cahokia is the site of a pre-Columbian Mississippian city in southern Illinois. Cahokia was the largest and most important settlement of this culture, and the site is the most complex archaeological site north of Mexico. Based on the evidence found in this site, historians could conclude that the Mississippian people settled in villages and farmed the land, allowing for the growth of large populations.
