because of the end
of the Ice Age
Environment
Receed of Glaciers
Small brush began to cover ground
More vegetation
Shelter
Built temporary shelters similar to those of the Paleo-Indians when they were able to find vegetation
Camped until vegetation was gone
Continued to migrate
Set up shelters near rivers and streams
Copy to Notes on Shelters
Built temporary shelters near rivers and streams where they camped until food was gone.
Food - MeatLarger animals such as bison and mammoth began to disappear
Smaller animals were targeted for hunting
deer, turkey, rabbit, and even skunk, fox, and wildcat
How is their hunting different than the Paleo Indians?
Food - Vegetation
Roots
Nuts
Berries
Grains
Gradually, these Native Americans learned they could grow or cultivate some of the vegetation. They began to save and store the seeds to later plant and harvest them.
Foraged or searched until vegetation was found
Think ahead:
How is the new idea of storing seeds and planting them going to change history?
Hint: think about shelters of Native Americans
Copy to Notes on Food
Hunted smaller animals
Gathered more vegetation, including grains, berries, and nuts
CultureStarted to form bigger groups, perhaps with chiefs
Started to trade with other groups to get better stone for their spear points.
Many people lived along rivers to use canoes to trade up and down the river.
Pottery became more important and useful
Copy to Notes on Culture
Formed bigger groups with chiefs
Still remained as nomads. A nomad is a member of a group who have no permanent home but move about according to the seasons
Tools
