Archaeologists have long been concerned about the incomplete record of Early Woodland evidence in the Midwest. Many broad geographic areas have not even been superficially surveyed, much less systematically researched for evidence of early ceramic cultures, which include Marion and various Black Sand phases. The Missouri River drainage between St. Louis and Kansas City has been targeted as a significant regional gap (Farnsworth 1986a:2). Recent investigations, however, have indicated that the Black Sand pottery type is more widespread than once believed. This article examines artifact evidence and provides information regarding Early Woodland artifact assemblages, settlement patterns and lithic exploitation strategies.Keywords: Early WoodlandBlack SandLower Missouri Valley
