The Ancestral Puebloans, also known as the Anasazi, built cliff dwellings in the Southwestern United States, with notable sites like Mesa Verde and Cliff Palace. In contrast, the Mississippian culture, prominent in the southeastern U.S., is known for building large earthen mounds, such as Cahokia Mounds near present-day St. Louis. These structures served various purposes, including residential, ceremonial, and burial functions.
