Culture Change in the Northern Plains, 1000 B.C.-A.D. 1000
註釋This thesis investigates prehistoric cultures of the Northern Great Plains during the period from 1000 BC to 1000 AD, viewing them within a taxonomic framework of archaeological units—the phase and cultural tradition. In this thesis 200 archaeological components and 155 radiocarbon dates are utilized to develop 11 phases, eight subphases, and six cultural traditions. The phases and subphases are described in terms of their artifact, settlement, subsistence, and burial systems. The relationship of these various phases and cultural traditions are examined to determine if they represent either indigenous populations who became acculturated to new cultural patterns or intrusive populations into the northern half of the Great Plains.
