AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Spence and Fox focus on the Meadowood occupation of southwestern Ontario. Early Woodland sites have Vinette 1 interior-exterior cordmarked ceramics and/or bifacially worked tools made from Onondaga or Selkirk chert. Some authors also consider Middlesex to be Early Woodland although it dates from 2400 B.P.-1999 B.P. (400 B.C. to 1 A.D.). Domestic sites, quarry workshops, and mortuary sites are described. So far few sites contain data on the spring, summer or winter seasons. They also describes the Terminal Archaic, and Middle Woodland occupations, but only the data that pertain to the Early Woodland were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
