Back 10 years ago I'd never heard of the Anasazi and was quite fascinated to find stuff like that north of Mexico. But I presume the Anasazi is pretty much unique as far as its (still-standing) legacy of non-timber buildings/villages north of Mexico? I know nothing of the Missisipi sites - are these the most impressive non-nomadic east-coast sites?
PS for the unitiated - here's a photo of an Anasazi site in Colorado (mine aren't scanned yet):
