Households provide a glimpse into the everyday life of a small group of individuals. When studied systematically we can learn how households fit into the social, economic, and political systems practiced by the larger community. I explore socio-economic household status in the Mississippian period (AD 1000-1500) in the Southeastern United States through the lens of zooarchaeology. I integrate data derived from faunal and architectural remains recovered from a Phase III data recovery at the Fewkes site (40WM1), located in Williamson County, Tennessee. My analysis of faunal and architectural data includes those from several households identified at the Fewkes site. These data and interpretations are then compared to previously identified households in the Middle Cumberland Region of Tennessee. Ultimately, my study shows similarities and differences in animal use in non-elite households
