Comments on the Kampsville Early Woodland conference
early woodland archeology • 2 • Published In 1986 • Pages: 609-620
By: Griffin, James Bennett.
Abstract
Griffin offers his critique and summary of the various papers from the Early Woodland Conference at Kampsville. The papers are found in eHRAF documents nos. 11-39. He begins with a summary of how Early Woodland as a time period and cultural stage came to be. Griffin lists the diagnostic attributes for the Early Woodland as tubular pips, bar gorgets, footed vessels, stemmed and notched points, birdstones, etc. (page 609-610) verses the first appearence of pottery and burial mounds. He breaks up his paper into geographical areas such as the Great Lakes region and Ontario, Illinois, and the Gulf Coastal Plain and the various cultures within these areas are discussed and the highlights of the various papers mentioned. As might be expected, Griffin disagrees with some authors.
