An unexpected complexity: The Archaic Period of the Far Northeast

Part III in our series of exploring the Abenakis of the Missisquoi NWR region

In this Zoom lecture, Dr. Fred Wiseman will examine the beginnings of social and ecological complexity with the beginning of optimized food collecting, and astronomy and stone-structure built environments. We also examine some of the amazingly complex material culture of the era, including stone and ivory. We also discuss the evidence for complex and astronomical ritual and social organization.
