A CHRONOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF THE ANCIENT CULTURES OF THE EASTERN WOODLANDS OF NORTH AMERICA (IN-PERSON)

This course will provide a cultural survey of the prehistoric Native American groups who occupied Ohio and surrounding areas as seen through the archaeological and historical record. Beginning with a basic review of the methods of archaeology and placing them within a chronological sequence, we will then proceed through the archeological record from the earliest Paleoindians to the Historic Native Americans who eventually settled in this region. The practical goal of this course is to understand and appreciate the lengthy record of Native American occupation and heritage in Ohio as viewed through the archaeological record. 

This course is a part of the Senior Scholars Program.
