AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Lewis used site records and cultural resource management reports to compile this paper. 'This paper draws on the available data from a 13-county study region in the Illinois prairies and examines the nature of Early Woodland regional adaptations.…[S]ettlement patterns in this regiona are described.…[The] 'transitional' nature of [these] adaptations is examined. The latter analysis focuses on inferences about Early Woodland occupations drawn from comparisons of Late Archaic and Middle Woodland site data. This approach is made necessary by the relative lack of Early Woodland site information.' (page 171). Lewis concludes Early Woodland cultural adaptations weren't much different from Late Archaic ones. Although Lewis descibes Late Archaic and Middle Woodland data, only the data that pertain to the Early Woodland were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
