	abstract = {<p>While the recognition of cultural regionalism in the Maritime Provinces is not new, the over-extension of Northeast-wide macro traditions may have resulted in a lack of focus. The Terminal Archaic (ca.\&nbsp;3800\&ndash;3000\&nbsp;BP) in the Quoddy Region of New Brunswick and Maine may be a case in point. A consideration of the Susquehanna tradition in Maine indicates that it is not a useful integrative device for the Terminal Archaic of the Quoddy Region. Rather than affiliating with the late Susquehanna tradition, sites in the Quoddy Region affiliate more with the Saint John River. Geographical circumscription, in the form of bold sea coasts that inhibited east-west coastal communication, may be involved. Canoe travel up the St. Croix River and into the Saint John and Penobscot Rivers linked the Quoddy Region with interior, riverine-oriented populations. The end result was the development of a regionally distinct littoral zone adaptation.</p>},
