  • Summary

    As the next three chapters discuss, communities of maize farmers appeared in a limited area at the northeastern edge of the grasslands during the 10th century and over a much larger area in the following centuries. This shift had implications for virtually every aspect of the lives the people in these communities and their neighbors lived, as did similar shifts throughout the world. This chapter presents a background to these changes on the Great Plains. Chapters 8 through 10 examine the archaeology of Plains farmers and their hunter-gatherer neighbors from AD 950 to AD 1500 more concretely with this background in mind.
