The Early Woodland period continued many trends begun during the Late and Terminal Archaic periods, including extensive mound-building, regional distinctive burial complexes, the trade of exotic goods across a large area of North America as part of interaction spheres, the reliance on both wild and domesticated plant foods, and a mobile subsistence strategy in which small groups took advantage ...

[19] A midden may be a regularly used animal toilet area or dunghill , created by many mammals, such as the hyrax , and also serving as a territorial marker.

Development of the Plains Woodland peoples has been heavily tied to interactions with the Hopewell culture, which existed to the east. Around 2000–1700 BP, cultural exchange and trade between the Hopewellians and the peoples of the Great Plains was at its strongest. During this period, burial mounds were more common than previously. Many of ...
