Talk:Red Paint People
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I saw the mention in 6th millennium BC regarding these people, and was intrigued. Someone else came along real quick & removed the tidbit about the trans-Atlantic theory that seems to accompany these people. However, the person had made the change as I was reading references that asserted that the idea has indeed been debunked. I felt it appropriate to register them as "Pre-Columbian" and invite anyone knowledgeable to deal with Maritime Archaic.

[edit] Inaccuracy through 2006
Much of the article is currently inaccurate. I'm going to try to fix this. The references about "first discovery" are actually about "first discovery in Newfoundland". The first discovery at all was almost a century earlier, circa 1885, in Maine by a Harvard professor and his assistant Charles Willoughby. The Red Paint People name was given by Warren K. Moorehead. Scientists now refer to this culture as the Moorehead Phase of the Laurentian Tradition. It may take me a while to find a sufficient quantity of reliable sources to do a total rewrite.
