Summary
"The Archaic Period is one of three major historical periods in American Indian prehistory. As the Ice Age ended and the land began to change, early peoples changed their ways of life. They lived as hunter-gatherers, made stone tools, and formed early settlements. The Archaic Period explores how people lived during the period and how archaeologists continue to study Archaic artifacts. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards."-- Provided by publisher.
