Reevaluating the Archaic/Woodland Transition in the Northeast
Author(s): Jaclyn Nadeau

Summary
This paper is the result of an ongoing research project into the technological and social changes occurring in northeastern North America from the Late Archaic to the Late Woodland. This dynamic period in the region’s prehistory is traditionally marked as the boundary between mobile hunter-gatherer-fishers and ceramic-producing horticulturalists. The overall effect of these changes on regional populations is still, however, unclear. I argue that to better understand this period we must couple technologically oriented research with a renewed interest in cultural contexts. Combining these paradigms offers much needed insight into changing economic and social patterns.
