Although cultivation of crops, particularly corn and squash were important components of the Mississippian diet, it is significant that these foods were rarely depicted in Mississippian art. The habitual depiction of wild animals, particularly those living in wetlands and other aquatic habitats certainly indicates the importance of these creatures in Mississippian economic and spiritual worlds.
