Unfortunately, the Spaniards brought European diseases with them that the natives had no immunity to. Those diseases reduced the populations of the natives to probably no more than 10-15 percent of the former population numbers. That is why later explorers didn't find the large populations. It was the same in the Amazon basin in South America.

@@amberyooper Yes. When the white settlers got to Middle Tennessee about 1800 there were very few Native Americans ... and they were mostly hunters and gatherers. The good farm bottom lands however all had huge ancient Indian Mounds and huge areas of stone lined graves. Even up in the hills people found springs that had been properly walled up with stones to protect the water flow. But all of those mound builders and farmers were gone. Smallpox is a possible cause of this population destruction. .... Syphilis (or Great Pox) however, may have come from the Americas. So, I guess there was at least some payback.

Has anyone thought about LIDAR mapping the area? Features on bluffs and incised valleys where agriculture hasn't affected the surface might be able to be linked together. Southeastern Kansas between the Ozark Uplift and the Flint Hills is a regional drainage. As goes water, so do animals.

If I'm not mistaken there are records of similar constructions all throughout the Ohio Valley along the rivers there. Early European settlers robbed stone from sites to build roads, and observed huge cultivated swaths of various nut and fruit trees that had been overgrown for many decades.

There are stone constructions all over N America that have been explored, dug up, looted and destroyed for building material, artifacts and "souvenirs" for generations, usually attributed to "ancients", "giants" or "aliens". I grew up living by the Norumbega Wall, along the Hudson River by NYC and even then, construction companies(with permission of the government)were tearing down the giant stone walls and battlements for their building projects. Much has been lost but enough remains to marvel at these ancient sites and the peoples who built them.

Yeah, we finally got one tribe to open up about what kinds of stone monuments they were leaving behind- rarely anything spectacular. Often just low stone walls, or stones piled in specific ways. I feel like the Mound building cultures did things in a different way & that might explain some of the more confusing mound structures whose purposes are largely unclear. The coolest thing about it is, now knowing that & reading about some of the sites recorded in detail before they were destroyed, you can tell that many different peoples over successive generations were identifying the same places as sacred & leaving their own, unique markers on it without disrupting what was already there. The fruit & nut trees wouldn't have been orchards, the way we think of them, but we know tribes were altering the land for greater resource abundance & less hunting/ gathering effort nearer to their villages. What makes it harder with Quivira is that these were ancestral Caddoans, related to the Pawnee, Arakawa & Wichita & those peoples' traditional dwellings were basically conical huts made of grass bundles around a low mud wall. With the petroglyph designs- I want to say Caddoan peoples believed all life sprang from a sacred cave along a river.

The Viking museum in Heavener, Oklahoma is a fascinating place. There are runestones and artifacts from a Viking settlement from the 9th century.

Excellent

I'm left wondering how many of the people who lived there survived after that initial encounter. And how many that were in their network survived. I've read of perhaps up to 20 million in the indigenous population of the Americas. And disease ravaged most before they ever saw a European. Facinating site. Great presentation, thank you.

Very cool. Thanks!

these people populations were hit hard and on the decline from the ice ages. then the invasion from the land bridge and other sources wared with them and eventually wiped them out with minor absorption into their own tribes. this is why when the europeans flooded in after columbus all above the mexican border where living in teepees and following the buffalo herds with much lower populations and more primitive lifestyles.

WHY would the Spanish chronicler "skew" the account? Why would they make themselves out to be losers? As far as arrowheads, the natives were NOT wiped out, by any means. There were SEVERAL settlements, The Spaniards fought the Escanjaques. Most of the settlements were Rayados. Thus, there were a LOT of natives surviving when the Spanish decided to head south after the battle. The natives could've gone out and collected all/most of the spent arrows. Arrowheads were quite valuable individually. BTW, bows and arrows have beaten plenty of forces with primitive cannons in the past. Do your research instead of "betting" and wildly speculating.
