Abstract:

English settlers arrived in North Carolina in the 1500s. Native Americans arrived 10,000 years before. They left no written accounts, so what is known of their activities is derived through investigations by archaeologists. Native American prehistory in the state is divided into four time periods: Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Woodland, and Contact. This article examines what is known of the Paleo-Indian Period.
