| Notes | The author surveyed amateur artifact collections from southwestern Oregon and concluded that traditional theories about ancient people’s settlement patterns in the region were incorrect. “Based on the distribution of major styles of projectile points, at least two distinct periods of occupation are definable. The Early period is tentatively dated between 1000 B.C. and 500 A.D. and the Late period between 500 A.D. and 1856 AD. The Early period was characterized by reliance upon upland resources, and the focus of occupation was along the upper reaches of coastal rivers. The Late period was characterized by reliance upon riverine and maritime resources, and the focus of occupation was on coastal bays and estuaries.” (From the Abstract) Includes line drawings and bw photographs of projectile points.
