Abstract
A
study
of
lithic
assemblages
from
nine
Archaic
and
Ceramic
Period
sites
was
conducted
in
order
to
determine
possible
material
culture
continuity
between
these
time
periods
in the
Maine-Maritimes
region.
A
further
aim
was to
examine
and
define
the
Terminal
Archaic
Period
in the
region
, with the
goal
of
identifying
the
attributes
of that
period
and
clarifying
the
regional
chronology.
--
The
study
resulted
in the
recognition
of
traits
from the
Moorehead
Phase
Late
Archaic
and
Susquehanna
Tradition
continuing
into the
Early
Ceramic
Period.
Early
Ceramic
Period
narrow
stemmed
projectile
points
are
strongly
similar
to
Moorehead
Phase
points.
Susquehanna
Tradition
related
points
are
known
from
northeastern
New
Brunswick
and the
St.
Croix
drainage
, and
chipped
and
ground
adzes
from the
Early
Ceramic
Period
are
related
to those of the
Susquehanna
Tradition.
--
This
allows
for
commentary
regarding
the
transitional
period
between
the
Archaic
and
Ceramic
Periods
,
Hypotheses
are
proposed
regarding
the
postulated
decline
of the
Moorehead
Phase
, the
potential
for
relationships
between
Moorehead
Phase
peoples
and those of the
Susquehanna
Tradition
, and
possible
explanations
for the
small
number
of
sites
which
may
be
attributable
to this
time
period
in the
Maine-Maritimes
region.
