Converging Cultures Chapter 1

Impact of Converging Cultures Our food Contact between cultures profoundly changed the society of each Our society contains elements of Native American, African, and European influence

Before Contact Early Native American Culture

Where did they come from? The first settlers may have crossed the Bering Strait- Beringia Probably hunters in search of game 14,000 to 10,500 B.C Oldest discovery- Oregon, 14,300 years

Where did they come from? More recent research- Traveled by boat, not on foot Traveled along coast to Southern Chile- Mount Verde Settled various points along the way Most probable explanation

Other Theories of Migration Bering strait- 40,000 years ago Not likely before 13,000 B.C. as there is limited data to support claim From South Pacific by ship Again little data- Polynesians?

Where’s the Proof? Proving the Land Bridge Radiocarbon Data- Measures radioactivity of Carbon 14 Ice Age- Water levels do drop Nomadic people travel after game Wooly Mammoth

Early Civilizations Agricultural Revolution about 9,000 years ago Allows development of civilization Began in Mesoamerica (Middle) Pumpkin, squash, beans, peppers, maize (corn)
