They came at the initial settlement of North America
They were fairly mobile people
9500-8000 BC
By the end of the period, there were concentrations of populations varying by regions as well as cultural variation
More people, less group movement
Few early sites in Georgia, specifically along the Coastal Plain
Piedmont has site increase in different environments in the mid-Paleoindian period
During this time, Indian areas were beginning to be established
According to the study, diagnostic stone tools found across North America with many points in the Eastern sector of North America can support our knowledge of the Paleoindian Period. Stylistic projectile point forms can provide evidence for population and group movement.

From this, it can be deduced that there was limited mobility in the mid-Archaic Period. In addition, fiber tempered pottery directs us to stagnant coastal populations, while the interior of the state was prone to more movement. We can deduce this information about the Archaic Period due to historical sites, scientific studies, artifacts, and our knowledge of the ancient world.
According to researchers, the Coastal Plain does not have a particularly high site density. However, sites may be buried deep in the Earth. In addition, along the coastline, in regions prone to flooding, Holocene sea-level rising has greatly distorted data. For this reason, we are still unsure about populations and their densities in the Coastal Plains as well as along the coastal zones of Georgia. Also, coastline settlements have not been located in Georgia. This is especially strange, for there are many sites along the Atlantic coastline of Florida, some showing signs of year-round inhabitance. Studies of the ancient Georgia coastline show that water levels may have been high enough to support marshes and estuaries along the present day coastal zone by the end of the Middle Archaic Period. This research suggests that the lack of coastal inhabitance may not have been due to water levels or estuaries and marshes. We do not know why Georgia had such a low coastal inhabitance …show more content…
Towards the Late Woodland Period, we have evidence to show more confined territories and even warring factions. This evidence includes bows and arrows, utilitarian item trade over relatively short distances, and the utilization of local stone, though it may have been of a lower quality. We know that towards the end of the Late Woodland Period, cultural variation began, for there were six different areas of Georgia that then had their very own ceramic style.
We know that there were settlement drops in coastal Georgia due to rising sea levels and resource changes, but we do not know what these resource changes are. We are unsure of why there is a coastal settlement decrease in some regions while there are still somewhat constant populations in other areas. We are unsure what happened to populations in relation to the coastline. There are theories that they became more mobile, left part of the coast, adapted lifestyles, or simply shrunk in size. We are not always able to identify the early Woodland sites along the coastline, therefore affecting data.
