Peopling New Worlds33,000-10,500 BC: Last Ice AgeSmall widely scattered groups (small
bands) that interacted through trade/travel. Few large possessions or permanent villages.
Theory 1◦ Siberian hunters following game
Theory 2◦ Arrived before 10,500 BC by boat with
patterned stops down the coastMost agree it was multiple migrations

Three MigrationsMost Native Americans are
descendents of the 1st earliest migrations
Athapaskan – 7000 BC and settled in Alaska and NW Canada. Later migrate and become the Apache and Navajos
After 3000 BC Inuits and Aleuts

These earliest Indians are referred to as Paleo-Indians◦Hunters and gatherers
living in small bands of 15-50 individuals (several families)

◦Traveled well defined hunting territories
◦Basic tool was the spear with a flint point
◦Arch. sites near perennial springs, watering holes, and river crossings
◦Left hunting grounds for quarries and encountered other bands
◦Creating a Broad Cultural Life

Around 9000 BC Megafauna becomes extinct◦2/3 of the species over 100 lbs.
at maturity◦Probably due to a warming
climate and overkill
◦This decline brings a change in humans

Archaic SocietiesWarming climate until 4000
BCSea levels rise, flooding low
lying coastal areas, glacial runoff fills waterways
Deciduous forests and grassy plains
A range of Flora and Fauna emerges

Archaic peoples live off of a wider/broader variety of smaller mammals, fish, plants (creation of the atlatl spear)
Communities require less land and can support larger populations (yr. round villages)◦Up to 10X as many people◦N. American pop. Increase to 1
million

By 5000 BC farmers were planting selected seeds for future farming◦ Modification of the environment:
setting fires, weeding out inedible plants = the verge of horticulture
3000 BC – Maize in C. America (2500 BC in N. Mexico and squash/gourds in MO and KY
However, for over 1000 yrs. after farming, the diet is still meat, fish, wild plants

Next Big Change
Diversity◦Farming takes over the
majority of diet around 2000 BC
◦Officially a Horticultural society by 1500 BC with three great crops: Maize, Squash, and Beans
◦What’s the Impact?
