Title: |
A Snowball’s Chance: Climatic Effects on Native Americans during the Protohistoric, 1530-1760 |
|
Description: |
At is initial peak in the 1500s, the Little Ice Age contributed to boom and bust cultural cycles in the Middle Ohio River valley. The most up-to-date climate information is combined with archaeological and historical records to examine how factors such as altered landscapes and new farming practices dramatically affected both humans and the local fauna. It also indicates that Native Americans were already adjusting to an unstable climate when they came face-to-face with the first Europeans. |
