AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
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.
