Abstract
'The purpose of this paper is to present a summary of current information available on Early Woodland cultures of the American Bottom, Illinois.…This paper will follow a descriptive cultural-historical approach, and will concentrate on defining the Early Woodland cultures presently known to occur in the American Bottom: the Carr Creek and Florence phases and the tentatively defined Columbia complex.…To place these Early Woodland manifestations in perspective,… the Terminal Archaic Prairie Lake phase and the Middle Woodland Cement Hollow phase are also discussed.' (page 475). Described are the material culture, subsistence practices, settlement pattern, chronology, and cultural relationships. Only the Early Woodland cultures were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
