Episode notes

Welcome to the Early Maritime Woodland period (3000 - 2200 BP)! Ken and Gabe chat about this period especially as it relates to big inter-regional interaction spheres (like Adena) and technological developments (like ceramics). If you see us in Membertou for the CAAs next weekend, say hi and pick up a sticker.
