Prehistory of West Virginia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Prehistory of West Virginia The Prehistory of West Virginia spans ancient times until the arrival of Europeans in the early 17th century.〔("West Virginia Timeline of State History." ) ''State Handbook and Guide Resources.'' (retrieved 24 Feb 2011)〕 Hunters ventured into West Virginia's mountain valleys and made temporary camp villages since the Archaic period in the Americas. Many ancient human-made earthen mounds from various mound builder cultures survive, especially in the areas of Moundsville, South Charleston, and Romney. The artifacts uncovered in these areas give evidence of a village society with a tribal trade system culture that included limited cold worked copper. As of 2009, over 12,500 archaeological sites have been documented in Virginia.〔Bryan Ward 2009:10〕〔The West Virginia Statewide, Historic Preservation Plan 2009-2014, West Virginia Division of Culture and History〕 ==Origins== The first evidence of humans in West Virginia dates back to the nomadic Paleo-Indians in 11,000 BCE.〔 From 7000–1000 BCE, archaic Native American cultures developed in the Northern Panhandle, the Eastern Panhandle, and the Kanawha River Valley.〔 They created temporary villages on the Kanawha region streams, Monongahela and Potomac tributary streams of the Allegheny Mountains. The early archaic people used tools, such as the atlatl. Cultural anthropologists use the spread of cultural items to examine inter-cultural middleman trade, migration, direct trade and intermarriage, enslavement after warfare, and mutual absorption of cultural elements between the prehistoric peoples.
