Archaeological excavations rarely provide the kind of information that allows you to reconstruct even fragments of individual lives.  In the following brief stories, I have used information derived from archaeological excavations in an attempt to put a little flesh on the past.

Each story is available as text on-line, or told as a downloadable story in MP3 format.

  1. Paleo-Indian (waiting for the caribou...)
  2. Archaic (heading upstream for the winter...)
  3. Middle Woodland (learning traditional skills with Grandma..)
  4. Late Woodland (yearning to see the wider world...)

These stories are intended for educational and informational use only.  Although I want you to feel free to distribute them and the accompanying MP3 files widely, please always acknowledge the source, don't pass them off as your own work, and don't include them in any revenue making venture without my explicit prior approval.
