Abstract
'The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary and overview of the Late Archaic, Transitional, and Early Woodland periods in Virginia …' (page 3). Mouer discusses the Early Woodland sites from different parts of the state and describes the various cultures or complexes, such as Marcey Creek, Accokeek, and Seldon Island, and their artifacts (lithics, ceramics, ornaments, and features). The Early Woodland section is broken into projects before and after 1970. Mouer also describes land use, such as who was using or not using which parts of the state and when. He writes about the changes that occurred from the Late Archaic through the Transitional period and through the Early Woodland, but only the materials that pertain to the Early Woodland were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
