USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The bow and arrow have long thought to have been introduced during the Late Woodland period in the eastern United States. An increasing body of evidence, however, suggests that this innovation may have occurred sometime during the Archaic period .

Detailed explanation-2: -Although archery probably dates back to the Stone Age – around 20, 000BC – the earliest people known to have regularly used bows and arrows were the Ancient Egyptians, who adopted archery around 3, 000BC for hunting and warfare. In China, the earliest evidence of archery dates to the Shang Dynasty – 1766-1027BC.

Detailed explanation-3: -From the evidence, we know that the bow and arrow, in a modern and developed sense, is at least 10, 000 years old. We’re pretty certain that arrowhead flints make archery at least 20, 000 years old – and it’s possible that ancient humans were shooting bows 70, 000 years ago… or more.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the Eastern Woodlands Indians relied on agriculture, cultivating the “three sisters”-corn, beans, and squash. All made tools for hunting and fishing, like bows and arrows and traps, and developed specialized tools for tasks like making maple sugar and harvesting wild rice.

Detailed explanation-5: -One major advancement was creating permanent settlements. Up until the Woodland Period, people lived nomadically as they followed their food sources of mammoths in the Paleo Indian period and deer in the Archaic period.
