                                  Middle Woodland
                                     (ca.200 B.C. to 600 A.D)

There is no exact cut off point between Early and Middle Woodland, the later has many new complex characteristics which distinguish it as a distinct cultural period, with mounds, earthworks, complexes and a hierarchical social organization, possibly tribal.
    Diagnostics points include Snyders, Chesser, Baker Creek, Lowe, Stuben.  Other tools include blade and blade cores, clay figurines, copper celts, panpipes, and platform pipes.  Trade networks exchanged copper, mica, shells, obsidian, galena, other raw materials and artifacts.
