Abstract
Gibbon asks the question, 'Does Minnesota have an Early Woodland?' The short answer is no, an Archaic lifeway persisted in Minnesota up to 2200 B.P. Early Woodland-like ceramics, La Moille Thick and Fox Lake, have Middle to Late Woodland dates (2200 B.P.-1100 B.P. or 200 B.C.-900 A.D.). The late dates for the Early Woodland-like materials raises questions about why Early Woodland cultural influences didn't get to Minnesota and why the Early Woodland-like artifacts show up so late. Gibbon thinks part of the answer will be how Early Woodland is defined.
