4) Archaeological record from c 600 B.C. to 450 A.D. (Early Woodland)
5) Archaeological record from 450 A.D. to 1200 A.D. (Late Woodland and Early Mississippian)
6) Archaeological record from c. 1200 A.D. to European contact.(begins mid-1500 in southeast Missouri to 100 years later in other areas of Missouri).
