Abstract
'The Center for American Archeology (CAA) … has conducted field studies in the lower Illinois Valley region for over 25 years.… This paper summarizes data accumulated on Early Woodland sites in the lower Illinois Valley drainage.… [D]ata are also included from the adjacent Sny Bottom of the Mississippi Valley in Illinois.… These information sets are used to evaluate Early Woodland chronology, diagnostic artifact styles, patterns of site distribution, and subsistence. Considerable attention is also given to the Terminal Archaic precursors and initial Middle Woodland successors of local Early Woodland groups.' (page 326). Only the data that pertain to the Early Woodland time period were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
