	Aboriginal Peoples: Maritime Archaic Tradition: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		Its name derives from two words: "Archaic", which refers to an ancient pre-agricultural, or hunting and gathering, way of life found throughout eastern North America and "Maritime" for the important role that the sea and its resources played in the lives of Newfoundland and Labrador's first people.
		In general it is hard to escape the conclusion that the Maritime Archaic people were remarkably well adapted to life in Newfoundland - from their technology and economy to their intellectual culture.
		For the present the disappearance of the maritime Archaic people, and what seems to be a complete absence of Indian people from Newfoundland between 3,000 and 2,000 years ago remains one of the most puzzling mysteries in the Native history of the province.

	TN Encyclopedia: ARCHAIC PERIOD
		The Late Archaic Period begins at the apex of the Altithermal about 3000 B.C. Conditions approximating those of the present day were reached by 2000 B.C. In evolutionary terms, many changes rapidly occurred during this last phase of the Archaic Period.
		Thus, the Archaic Period, including its constituent phases and traditions, is essentially defined by its great age, lack of pottery until late in the period, and projectile point forms.
		Archaic hunter-gatherers explored and exploited a vast and diverse array of ecological niches across Tennessee.

	The Archaic Language, Arcane Spells and spellbooks
		The Archaic language is a collection of runes and symbols that are subtle reminders to those who know it, of the sounds, the shapes, as well as the thoughts or ideas they represent.
		Those lesser means of identification are part of the skill, and not all Archaic things are easily identified due to their subjective nature as the visible portions, or pictographs, are often merely subtle reminders at best, and not complete or whole thoughts unto themselves.
		The Archaic language is, naturally enough, a unified whole and without internal contradiction, though aspects of it may seemingly be contrary to other aspects of it, or seem counter intuitive, especially if one becomes overly familiar with a small sub section of the cohesive whole.

	Archaic Period (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Archaic Period, 6000 to 1000 B.C., represents a technological cultural departure from the earlier Paleolithic period, but generally precedes the use of pottery.
		Generally, Archaic cultures can be described as semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers who engaged in greater exploitation of local resources than had previously taken place.
		Early on the Archaic cultures were slow to adapt to the regional environments depending on the availability of food, raw materials, and the ability of the small bands to move around.

	Archaic English Grammar -- dan.tobias.name
		Usually what people mean by "archaic English" is the variety that was spoken around AD 1500, when the language was transitioning from "Middle English" to "Modern English", so that's what I use here.
		Later, it went silent, and writers used their own aesthetic sensibilities to decide when to include or exclude it, until the dictionary writers finally and arbitrarily standardized the spellings as they are now.
		People going for an archaic feel sometimes add "e" at the end of words that don't presently have it, and there really doesn't seem to be any "right" or "wrong" to it.

	Archaic Sculpture
		However, secularism begins to become evident with Archaic Greek art and culture in a subtle way as the artist,s and art patron's names appear carved on some sculptures, and also in the way that the personal virtues of affluent individuals become the underlying subject of archaic statues temples and sanctuaries.
		The frontal pose, the left foot extended forward, the arms attached or close to the hips, the rigid pose, and the mysterious smile are all characteristics of the Kouros and Kore statues of the Archaic period.
		The sculpture of the Archaic Greek style is evidently influenced by ancient Egypt as the commerce between the two countries was flourishing.

		Archaic sites are common, though there have been few thorough archaeological studies of Archaic sites on the plateau.
		If this is true, the hunters of the Archaic Period somehow managed to adapt to this loss of a major food resource, and their populations grew as they spread throughout the region in the early Holocene.
		Perhaps the Archaic peoples were the first inhabitants of this region to live in "harmony" with their environment.

	The Archaic Period, Southeast Archaeological Center
		Like the Late Paleoindian subperiod, it was presumed that the Early Archaic culture consisted of small mobile bands exploiting defined territories, but the increase in the number of sites and the recovery of nonlocal cherts tend to support an increase in population resulting in larger numbers of bands that traded resources with each other.
		The Middle Archaic period in the Southeast is marked by a further intensification of regionalization of prehistoric cultures.
		Finally, the Archaic saw the beginning of a southeastern mound-building tradition that would be further elaborated on in the succeeding Woodland and Mississippian periods.

	Archaic
		Archaic people were not as nomadic as their ancestors. Their changed lifeways relied less on migratory animals species.
		Archaic Indians made seasonal moves because different food sources were available at different places and in different times of the year.
		Since the Archaic Indians had a more sedentary lifestyle than the Paleoindians, heavier stone tools, like nutting stones could be added to the Archaic tool kit.

		Even though the sea level of Florida was continuously rising, the area became exposed to a prolonged period of drought that lasted from the beginning of the Archaic period to the middle (6000 to 3000 B.C.).
		These rougher conditions forced the Archaic people to exploit many of their food sources as well as to adopt new ones.
		Because the drought caused an increase in effort needed to collect food, the Archaic period involved the use and invention of many tools such as knives, scrapers, drills, hooks, pins, etc. Also during this time, the population was reduced as many people migrated out of the region to escape the drought.

	Native Peoples of North America - Archaic Period: Spreading Out and Settling In
		Since archaic cultures evolved from Paleo-Indian ones it is often impossible to draw a sharp boundary between the two periods, especially since some cultural practices remained the same: a seasonally migratory way of life, gathering and hunting as the primary subsistence pattern.
		During the Archaic period we see the first evidence of many significant cultural developments among the native peoples including far-flung regional trade networks (allowing for the exchange of raw materials, food items, exotic goods), the invention of a broad range of subsistence technologies and tools, the rise of part-time (and later full-time) occupational specialization.
		Not only did the Archaic people diversify their subsistence base, but they also shifted the focus toward a greater reliance on plants for food, craft materials, and medicine so that towards the end of the Archaic period (about 5,000 - 4,000 years ago) hundreds of plant species were being exploited.

	EMLS S.I. 1 (April 1997: 4.1-14): Did Shakespeare Consciously Use Archaic English?
		This difficulty of classifying and identifying archaic terms during Shakespeare's time is unavoidable, perhaps, when one considers the linguistic self-consciousness and instability of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
		When they are used, however, it is clear that such terms would have possessed a potentially archaic tone in order to be manipulated for the desired poetic effect–the term would be recognized as "different" from the standard idiom but retrievable from within that idiom.
		In some instances archaic tonality may just be a matter of recognizing that the status of old words is based on their relation to the standard idiom by the way they survive in that idiom as fossilized phrases.

		Although this fact alone does not resolve whether riverine settlement was permanent or seasonal, the geographic scope of exchange (and/or mortuary ritual) suggests Middle Archaic groups across northeast Florida were indeed culturally divided in ways that both enabled and regulated flows of personnel and resources among interior, riverine, and coastal populations.
