In this episode, Gabe and Ken talk about the first archaeologically known people in New Brunswick: the Palaeoindians. We begin with a continental approach to the big three temporal divisions–Clovis, Folsom, and Plano–then narrow our discussion down the New England-Maritimes Region. We wrap with a discussion of Palaeoindian archaeology in New Brunswick. See you in a couple weeks for the start of the Archaic period. Follow us on Instagram!
