Great Lakes natives of the Archaic tradition …

Years: 4365BCE - 4222BCE

Great Lakes natives of the Archaic tradition of the so-called Old Copper Complex of the Western Great Lakes live in pole-frame structures covered with hides or bark and bury their dead in ocher-lined graves.

Having located 99% pure copper in the area of Lake Superior, both in veins and nuggets in gravel beds, they eventually learned to hammer the copper and produce a variety of spearpoints, tools and decorative objects.

In addition to practical use, the Copper Complex peoples trade copper goods to obtain other exotic materials.
