- Summary:
- Combining previous literature with her own findings, Tache (anthropology, U. of Montreal) analyzes inter-societal interactions within a vast network of peoples that developed in northeastern North America during the Early Woodland period 3000-2400 years ago. The evidence for inter-regional interactions and long-distance exchanges date back at least to the Late Archaic period 6000-3000 years ago, she says, the Early Woodland period marked a significant increase in the intensity and scale of inter-social interactions. Common burial practices, the wide distribution of such items as high-quality chert bifaces and finely crafted slate objects, and native copper and marine shell artifacts show how the Meadowood phenomenon brought several hunter-fisher-gatherer societies together.
