Consolidation of populations and incipient political centralization characterize the period, particularly in the Eastern Woodlands and the Southwest. The success of food crops such as maize and beans allows for meaningful concentrations of peoples. Settlements are enlarged along local patterns, with individual centers assuming regional dominance. | Consolidation of populations and incipient political centralization characterize the period, particularly in the Eastern Woodlands and the Southwest.

=====About the American Decorative Arts Collection===== | |||
[https://artgallery.yale.edu/research-and-learning/curatorial-areas/american-decorative-arts by YALE UNIVERSITY AT GALLERY] | |||
The Gallery’s collection of American decorative arts ranges in date from about A.D. 1000 to the present day, with the earliest objects representing the art of Indigenous people who lived in North America before European settlement. Its particular strengths are in the colonial and early Federal periods, due in large part to generous gifts from Francis P. Garvan, B.A. 1897. Yale’s collection of early silver is noted for superior examples from New England, New York, and Philadelphia. | |||
