The earliest human occupation of the White Mountains region occurred approximately 11 000 14 C years ago. A suite of stylistically and technologically distinctive chipped stone tools have been found that correlate with similar artifacts and assemblages known across North America and identified as Paleoindian. This culture endured in the White Mountains for at least a millennium and coincided, at least in part, with the Younger Dryas climatic episode. Seven Paleoindian sites and their artifact assemblages are described. These sites appear to correlate with major river drainages and to articulate with widely separated Paleoindian sites outside the region. Key to the interpretation of these sites is the identification of the sources of the lithics used by the Paleoindians for their tools. Local rhyolite was acquired for use in two localities, Berlin and Jefferson, NH and chert from the Munsungun Lake region of northern Maine was imported. The movement of these lithics into and out of t...

The archaeological signatures of the Early Middle Woodland (Ceramic Periods 2-3) Native groups of Vermont and surrounding areas exhibit a number of seeming contradictions. On one hand, the pottery they produced represents an early apogee in terms of skill, technology, morphology and aesthetics, and populations (as judged primarily by the numbers and sizes of sites) apparently grew markedly from the previous period. On the other hand, the burial elaboration and long-distance exchange that featured so prominently during the Early Woodland period seems for a time to have been abandoned or actively rejected. This abandonment or rejection is even more intriguing when one considers that Native groups throughout much of the rest of the Eastern Woodlands participated to varying degrees in the Hopewell Interaction Sphere. This presentation will examine the early part of the Middle Woodland period at several scales. Beginning with a survey of notable archaeological sites in Vermont, I will expand outward and explore some of the possible reasons for this technological and ceremonial disjuncture. I will conclude by noting areas of continuity and briefly discuss the resurgence of limited non-local exchange during the Jack’s Reef (Intrusive Mound) horizon.

Rivers and Jones {1993) reported the locations of 21 place names in the upper San Antonio Valley and adjacent coast of Monterey County, California, that were noted by Salinan speakers in John Peabody Harrington's field notes from 1922 to 1932. Surface reconnaissance and review of recently completed archaeological survey reports have led to the identification of 11 additional Salinan places in the upper San Antonio Valley and refinement in the location of three others. Archaeological sites in the vicinity of named places tentatively suggest that Salinan settlements are marked by clusters of small middens and bedrock mortars.

"There is something decidedly poetic about Aroostook and Coös, something that speaks of the landscape and its first inhabitants, that we do not have in the bureaucratic county names of Clinton and Franklin—meant to impose a national idea on the land. "The history of New Hampshire’s Coos County makes for an especially interesting case study, not least for the land and resources that gave rise to one of the state’s great industrial centers. Joining the upper reaches of the Connecticut and Androscoggin rivers, northern New Hampshire was long travelled and inhabited by Abenaki bands. In areas, the terrain is quite rugged; it includes some of the highest peaks of the White Mountains. White settlers felt the pressures of the sometimes hostile environment and could feel quite isolated even on the two major rivers’ tributaries. [...]"
