Good morning! I just got your ad about getting a ticket for the 1805 land lottery? And that sounds really sus. Is the state of Georgia really giving away land? AND WHY?

What do you say?

Great trip so far. We're getting gas at the Buccee's near Macon. They have fossilized sharks' teeth for sale by the cash register! I asked the lady where they came from and she said someone dug them up near by. BUT we're like on the Fall Line and it's another two hours to the Atlantic Ocean? She is SO LYING to me. Right?

• You're right! Sharks can't swim up the river from Savannah to Macon!

• You're right. They were probably made by the Mississippian Indians.

• South Georgia was under the ocean long ago. That explains it!

Which of the following was NOT a characteristic of Native American societies during the Mississippian Period?

• Towns protected with palisade walls
