The Woodland Indians
There were 3 Woodland sub periods: Early, Middle, and Late. Lets start with the Early Woodland Indians. The early Indian's sub period was from 1000 to 300 B.C. Pots were elaborately designed, with surfaces represented as many things. They grew crops, mostly squash plants and beans. Artifacts included tools designed to be for planting, cutting, and serving food were found in Woodland sites. During these periods The woodland people were nomadic and prospered because of nuts, berries, meat, and fish. The middle Woodlanders used to be mostly nomadic tribes, but then they started making more permanent settlements. But in the area east of the Mississippi Rivers and south of the Cumberland River, a number of Nomadic tribes still flourished. Archeologists think that deer were the reason that it was possible for groups to continue there nomadic ways. Near the end of the Middle age, bows and arrows became of common use. This change changed woodland society. The late woodland period began in 500 AD. Some Archeologists believe that the introduction of the bow and arrow led to the collapse of the woodland's culture. But in the southeast, the introduction of the bow and arrow wasn't bad at all. In fact it seemed to have increased the cultural expansion. It also made hunting easier then ever. But the bow and arrow caused a disadvantage to the animals that were hunted with it. Since hunting became easier more and more animals became extinct. The late era became more used to growing beans and corn. That is why corn agriculture became more and more important across the southeast.
