A proposed culture typology for the Lower Snake River Region, southeastern Washington
Frank C. Leonhardy (Author), David G. Rice (Author)
"Six phases are proposed as a basis for ordering archaeological manifestations in the Lower Snake River Region of Southeastern Washington. The phases and their approximate chronologic boundaries are, in order: the Windust Phase, 8,000 B.C.-7,000 B.C.; the Cascade Phase, 6,000 B.C.-3,000 B.C.; the Tucannon Phase, 3,000 B.C.- 500 B.C.; the Harder Phase, 500 B.C.-A.D. 1300; the Piqunin Phase, A.D. 1300-A.D. 1700; and the ethnographic Numipu Phase, A.D. 1700-A.D. 1900. The Windust and Cascade Phases are considered to represnet an evolutinary continuum developed from the culture represented by the Lind Coulee assemblage. A second, distinct, evolutionary continuum is considered to begin with the Tucannon Phase. The regional periodization first proposed by Richard D. Daugherty is modifed. Four chronologic units are recognized: the Pioneer Period, 8,000 B.C.-3,000 B.C.; the Initial Snake River Period, 3,000 B.C.-500 B.C.; the Snake River Period, 500 B.C.-A.D. 1700; and the Ethnograhic Period, A.D. 1700-A.D. 1900."--Leaf 1
