Description:
A culture during the Archaic PeriodOccupying the area from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean, these people thrived in rich forest environments, hunting deer, bear, and turkey, and collecting nuts, seeds, and aquatic resources. Being the shortest span of the Archaic Cultures, this period saw the emergence of long-distance trade networks and early mound construction, notably at sites like Poverty Point in Louisiana (dating to c. 2000–1000 BCE).
