Northeast Subsistence-Settlement Change A.D. 700-1300 New York State Museum Bulletin 496

The early Late Prehistoric period (A.D. 700-1300) is an important time in Northeastern prehistory because it was then that many of the subsistence and settlement traits of Native populations recorded during the early Historic period first become evident in the archaeological record.

The chapters in this book provide regional summaries, analyses of specific sites and site categories, analyses of pottery and paleoethnobotanical data, and models for the adoption of maize-based agriculture.

This book provides an up-to-date coverage of current research on the early Late Prehistoric period in the Northeast from Ohio to New Brunswick, Canada that will spur additional research on this critical period of time.

An important book for anyone interested in the later prehistory of northeastern North America.
