Abstract

Twenty-three AMS age determinations, obtained from annual plant remains and ceramic residues, are presented as a guide in addressing potential changes to the chronology of the central Plains Woodland period. When compared to older conventional wood charcoal dates, these new AMS dates demonstrate the need to critically evaluate existing temporal ranges of several Woodland cultures. In particular, the new dates help fill in temporal gaps in our understanding of significant cultural transitions during the Plains Woodland. Areas for further research on the Plains Woodland are also suggested.
