What is PREHISTORY? History before there was written language There was history before it was written down, but some cultures never developed writing Most North American Native American cultures understood history through oral tradition.

Four Phases of Prehistory in North Carolina Paleo-Indian Period Archaic Period Woodland Period (includes the Mississippian Culture) Contact Period

Bering Strait Theory During the last Ice Age (25,000-35,000 years ago) people began populating North America, coming across the Bering Strait from Asia

How do we know about the people that lived before history was recorded?

Various levels of social organization among prehistoric Native Americans Bands (20-35 people) Tribes (several bands) Chiefdoms (100-300 people) States (thousands of people)

Paleo-Indian Period (14,000-12,000 Years Ago) Family People lived in bands (20-35 people), with 2 or 3 extended families social structure based on kinship and skills

Paleo-Indian Period Culture Nomads – hunters & gatherers Archaeologists have found many Paleo- Indian sites in NC Q: What does this map tell us about Paleo-Indian nomadic culture?

Paleo-Indian Period Technology Only stone material is found from this period Paleo-Indians used simple, crafted stone tools Most of the items found have been projectile points (tips of spears, darts, lances, etc.) Q: How do you think these points were made?

Projectile Points & Arrow Heads What are the differences? Projectile points were used long before arrow heads. Arrow heads were only invented around 4000 years ago

Projectile Points and Arrowheads of North Carolina

The end of the Ice Age causes changes c. 12,000 – c. 10,000 BCE global warming Climate warmed, forests changed, plant and animal life developed As food became more plentiful and easier to find, there was more leisure time, so…. Culture evolved

Archaic Period (10,000-4,000 years ago) Bands got larger, containing 50-75 people Tribes began to evolve consisting of closely related bands of people tied together by kinship

Archaic Period (10,000-4,000 years ago) Archaeological sites from this period are more complex People move with seasons instead of following herds of animals Still hunter-gatherers

Archaic Period People begin making complex tools. Grinding stones Clay Pottery Stone net sinkers Fish hooks Awls (engraving tool) Drills Scrapers Atlatl (Spear thrower)

Three inventions drastically change life for Native Americans.

Woodland Period (4000- 250 years ago) Marked by three inventions: Agriculture Ceramics Bow & Arrow

Agriculture People live in one place (or in summer/winter camps) Cultures increase in complexity Begin deliberately growing food crops Women did much of the farming while men hunted

Ceramics Firing or baking clay pots made them last longer Ceramics used for storage, transportation, even cooking crafted mostly by women

Bows & Arrows The bow and arrow c. 4000 yrs ago hunting small game warfare

Woodland Period Organized into tribes and chiefdoms Within tribes, clans/families formed ranks Some Woodland people buried their dead in burial mounds Daily items were commonly decorated

Mississippian Culture (1100-1500 years ago) During the Woodland Period, a unique culture arises, known as the Mississippian Culture.

Mississippian Culture Large populated towns with ceremonial centers Surrounding the ceremonial centers were villages Farming was central to culture These societies were states (nations)

Mississippian Culture ceremonial centers were truncated mounds Nature-worshipping culture

NC Native Culture at Contact As we discuss Exploration Leave central space for the contact period—we’ll return to this next week On leaves, create 4 categories, one for each leaf Categories should be comparative/contrasting methods of looking at the three periods studied so for (i.e. Native American group sizes) Explain at least one aspect under the category for each period studied so far (i.e. Paleo-Indian groups were small, consisting of about 25-30 individuals from 2-3 extended family kinship groups)
