EARLY PLAINS WOODLAND AND MIDDLE PLAINS WOODLAND OCCUPATION OF THE JAMES RIVER REGION IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA

Michael L. Gregg, Paul R. Picha

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Recent work in southeastern North Dakota has generated new information and infer ences regarding Early and Middle Woodland cultural developments in the Northeastern Plains. This article describes some of these findings, compares and contrasts a few prominent artifact styles between the Northeastern Plains and the Midwest, and presents evidence for interaction between the two areas during Early and Middle Woodland times. Radiocarbon dates from a site in the James River valley are strong evidence that some ceramic technological developments were essentially coeval between these two areas.
