Nomen plenum Anglicum Cahokia Mounds plenissimumque Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, scilicet "locus civicus historicus tumulorum Cahokianorum" e nuncupatione tribus cuiusdam in hac regione habitantis derivatum est ab Europaeis saeculo XVII exeunte advenis.
Tumulus Monachorum est maxima Cahokiae structura terrena.
Situs, qui 890 hectaria seu circiter 9 chiliometra quadrata comprehendit, olim consistit in fere centum viginti tumulis terrenis ab hominibus factis, sed solum octoginta tumuli exstant.[2] Cahokia est maximus culturae Mississippianaesitus archaeologicus, quae societates multiplices in America orientali saecula ante adventum Europaeorum evoluit.[3]
E spectatione vasorum inter annos 1050 et 1250 factorum constat incolas Cahokiae stimulantia Ilicis vomitoriae infusa sorbuisse, quamquam haec species non circum Cahokiam sed in regionibus australioribus floret.
