late archaic and early woodland research in virginia : a synthesis • (23) • Published In 1991 • Pages: 259-273

By: Mouer, L. Daniel.

Abstract
Mouer '…attempts to explain the transition between Archaic and Woodland (or Formative) lifeways within Virginia, the Middle Atlantic, and elsewhere.' (page 259). He writes about the development of gardening, environmental change, population growth, and competition as explanations or non-explanations for the cultural evolution that occurred during this time period. Although Mouer writes about the Late Archaic and the Early Woodland, only the material that pertains to the Early Woodland were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
