Abstract

Archaeological research at several sites in southern and central Maine are summarized, and comparisons are made to the Archaic strata of the Turner Farm site. These data allow new insights into the relationships among long-standing constructs such as the Small stemmed point tradition, the Laurentian tradition, the Moorehead phase, and the Susquehanna tradition. They also clarify relationships with the Maritime Archaic tradition of Newfoundland and Labrador.
