Show Notes

This week, Ken and Gabe discuss the Late Maritime Archaic (ca. 5500-3500 years ago). Please note that we discuss burials in this episode. We update perceptions of the “Red Paint People” and argue for cultural continuity across the Far Northeast and talk about sociocultural complexity among hunter-gatherers.
