AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Salkin writes about his excavations in the Lake Farms archaeological district in Wisconsin, concentrating on the Beach site (47-Da-459). The site's excavations and analysis of the findings are described. The site has incised-over-cordmarked sherds and typical Early Woodland point types. The site is assigned to the Lake Farms phase of the Early Woodland. 'Chronologically, the Lake Farms phase appears to fall outside the dates usually assigned to Early Woodland phases in the Eastern Woodlands. However, this appears consistent with the dates available for the related Prairie phase in southwestern Wisconsin… During the span of time usually assigned to the Early Woodland period in other areas, south-central Wisconsin seems to have been occupied by peoples with a Late Archaic technology. The transition to Early Woodland cultures appears to have come late…' (page 118).
