The Adena culture was centered on the location of the modern state of Ohio, but also extended into contiguous areas of northern Kentucky, eastern Indiana, West Virginia, and parts of extreme western Pennsylvania.[3] 8,000-6,000 B.C. Early Archaic Indians live in what is now Ind. (Outline,1). 6,000-3,500 B.C. Middle Archaic Indians live in what is now Ind. (Outline, 2). 3,500-1,500 B.C. Late Archaic Indians live in what is now Ind. (Outline, 2). 1,500-700 B.C. Terminal Late Archaic Indians live in what is now Ind. (Outline, 2). 700-200 B.C. Early Woodland Indians live in what is now Ind. (Outline, 3). 200 B.C.-500 A.D. Middle Woodland Indians live in what is now Ind. (Outline, 3). In Mesoamerica, a similar set of events (i.e., crop domestication and sedentary lifestyles) occurred by around 4500 BC in South America, but possibly as early as 11,000–10,000 BC. These cultures are usually not referred to as belonging to the Neolithic; in America different terms are used such as Formative stage instead of mid-late Neolithic, Archaic Era instead of Early Neolithic, and Paleo-Indian for the preceding period.[64] The Formative stage is equivalent to the Neolithic Revolution period in Europe, Asia, and Africa. In the southwestern United States it occurred from 500 to 1200 AD when there was a dramatic increase in population and development of large villages supported by agriculture based on dryland farming of maize, and later, beans, squash, and domesticated turkeys. During this period the bow and arrow and ceramic pottery were also introduced.[65] In later periods cities of considerable size developed, and some metallurgy by 700 BC.[66]
