AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Munson has revise his 1982 twin-tradition model on the development of two cultures in the Illinois area. He proposes a Marion to Morton to early Havana sequence for one cultural tradition and a Black Sand tradition that played no role in the development of the Havana culture. He looks at dates, seriation of cultural attributes (mortuary data, trade, settlement, lithics, ceramics), and distribution of the cultural complexes. One of Munson's conclusions is that Black Sand sites in the Illinois valley area are only part of a settlement system and they 'represent seasonal base camps of a single kind that were reached by the major waterways, and probably by watercraft, by individuals who resided for the other portions of the year in the northeastern Iowa-southwestern Wisconsin-southern Minnesota area.' (page 648).
