Georgia’s First Inhabitants (SS8H1a) – Describe the development of Native American cultures (Paleo, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian) prior to European contact. Georgia’s First Inhabitants

Review The difference between history and pre-history is the presence of writing and written records. Pre-history- history before the existence of written records.

Because there are no written records, historians are not 100% certain about the pre-historic past. There are many clues, however, such as: Artifacts – Man-made relics, such as arrowheads, pottery, cave markings, etc. Ecofacts – Natural relics, such as sharks teeth, bones, fossils, etc.

Georgia’s pre-historic past is divided into four major periods (try to use the acronym P.A.W.M. to help you remember): P A W M 1. Paleo-Indian Period (10,000 – 8000 B.C.) 2. Archaic Period (8000 – 1000 B.C.) 3. Woodland Period (1000 B.C. – 1000 A.D.) 4. Mississippian Period (1000 – 1600 A.D.)

Georgia’s first pre-historic Native American tradition was called the PALEO-INDIAN.

Prior to 11,000 B.C., there was a frozen land bridge between Asia and North America referred to now as Beringia.

The Paleo-Indians were nomads, constantly on the move as they hunted large game.

Many followed herds of buffalo and mammoth across the Beringia land bridge into North America.

Eventually, the earth warmed, Beringia melted, and Asia and America were separated by the Bering Sea.

The Paleo-Indians, unable to return to Asia, dispersed throughout North America.

The Paleo-Indians lived in small, nomadic bands, and they hunted large game such as the woolly mammoth, the saber tooth tiger, and the giant ground sloth.

The primary tool used by the Paleo-Indians was a large point attached to a spear, called a Clovis Point, which was used to hunt large game.

Georgia’s next pre-historic Native American tradition was called the ARCHAIC.

Like the Paleo-Indians, the Archaic Indians were nomads Like the Paleo-Indians, the Archaic Indians were nomads. During this time, climate became warmer, and the Archaics began to fish and gather nuts and berries.

The Archaics created very crude pottery to store nuts and berries The Archaics created very crude pottery to store nuts and berries. The oldest pottery found in America was Archaic pottery found near Augusta, Georgia.

The Archaics invented a tool, called the atlatl, and smaller, sharper arrowheads that enabled them to hunt small animals (deer, turkey, bear, rabbits. etc.).

Georgia’s next pre-historic Native American tradition was called the WOODLAND.

During the Woodland period, Indians began to farm for the first time.

Farming allowed culture to flourish among the Indians Farming allowed culture to flourish among the Indians. No long preoccupied with basic survival, the Woodland Indians could create more elaborate pottery.

Farming meant that Woodland Indians could stay in one place for longer periods of time. This allowed small villages and tribes to develop for the first time.

Artifacts found in Georgia from other parts of America, such as Ohio and Michigan, suggest that the Woodlands began to trade with other peoples.

The Woodlands developed a hi-tech form of weaponry, called the bow & arrow.

The Woodlands also began to build cermonial and burial mounds, such as Rock Eagle Mound, suggesting the development of more complex forms of religion.

Georgia’s last and most advanced pre-historic Native American tradition was called the MISSISSIPPIAN.

The Mississippians relied on large-scale farming and trading, and organized themselves into very complex nations.

Mississippians had very complex governments called chiefdoms, led by a chief.

The Mississippians were called the “great mound builders” because of their enormous ceremonial mounds (ex., Etowah).

It was during the Mississippian period that the Native Americans first came into contact with European explorers!!!
