Debert/Bull Crook/Plenge

The earliest known cultures in the Northeast section of the United States are that of the Debert site found in Nova Scotia dating back to about 10500 BP (Before Present), the Bull Brooke site found in New England, and the Plenge site located in New Jersey. It has been hypothesized that these sites were base camps for larger than normal groups of big game hunters during the Palaeo period. Animals such as elk, caribou, deer, and smaller rodents were located near deposits of fluted points resembling that of the Cumberland type found in central portions of the United States. Other foods, such as local flora, fish, and fowl, were also of importance to the survivial of these peoples.
