The Prairie Phase: an Early Woodland manifestation in the upper Mississippi valley

By: Stoltman, James B..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Stoltman describes another late Early Woodland phase, the Prairies phase, first described in the Prairie du Chien locality. Stoltman describes the ceramics associated with this phase, the settlement and subsistence patterns, and the dates. Only two radiocarbon dates are known and both place this phase in the first century A.D. (or 2000-1900 B.P.). The Prairie phase seems to be part of the Black Sand culture as seen by the sharing of ceramic styles, contracting-stem projectile points, and a heavily riparian adaptation.
