Hunters and Gatherers:
Between about 8,000 BC and 300 BC, aboriginal people hunted game and fathered plants for food, fiber, and medicine. They moved with the seasons, traveling over a wide area to collect ripening seeds. They built temporary brush structures for shelter and crafted baskets for plant collection, cooking, and storage.
A throwing device called an "atlati" helped make them successful hunters by increasing the distance their stone-tipped spears could travel. |
