New Research on the Archaic Period in the Northeast: The Past 20 Years
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
Research in the Northeast over the past 20 years has contributed a wealth of new data and insights into Archaic Period lithic technologies and settlement patterns using interdisciplinary approaches and collaborative efforts among archaeologists, Native American tribes, geologists, geomorphologists, chemists, and paleoecologists to name a few. These new applications are allowing us to gain a better understanding of human agency on the landscape on a small-scale, local level, and a refinement of large-scale, multi-regional level models. New data from Archaic sites in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, and New York are presented to highlight what we knew then, what we know now, and what it is we still want to know
