Spruce Swamp: A Partially Drowned Coastal Midden in Connecticut
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
Archaeological, geological, and biological observations, including a quantitative midden analysis, of a shell midden on the Connecticut shore support the inference that a Woodland manifestation, probably of the East River aspect, was preceded by an Archaic, possibly Transitional, horizon. The deposit was formed during a lower sea stand; both global and regional sea-level data are cited in support of chronological placement.
