Early Basketmaker II Era
Ancient culture of the southwest United States / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Early Basketmaker II Era (1500 BCE – 50 CE) was the first Post-Archaic cultural period of Ancient Pueblo People. The era began with the cultivation of maize in the northern American southwest, although there was not a dependence upon agriculture until about 500 BCE.[1] It is preceded by the Archaic-Early Basketmaker Era, and is followed by the Late Basketmaker II Era.
