Protohistorical

[edit]

I'm not sure this should be classified as belonging to protohistory, which is generally described as a "period between prehistory and history, during which a culture or civilization has not yet developed writing, but other cultures have already noted its existence in their own writings". Who in the area was writing about these peoples? Shouldn't this be described as "prehistoric" or "Precolumbian"? Heiro 00:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake.
I see that the Pueblo periods are classified under "Post-Archaic" on the List of archaeological periods (North America) and is one of the post-archaic periods (after Basket Makers on the Pecos Classification article. Of course, I'm also prehistoric or Precolumbian are also appropriate. Let me know and I'll make the change.--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No biggy, was just wondering if there was something I was missing. As far as I know the only fully "historic" peoples in the Americas at the time were the Mayans (Maya script) who basically only wrote about themselves, lol. I'm fine with the changes you've made here and at Pueblo II Era, unless you feel they need to be further qualified. The 2 articles are looking pretty good btw, nice work.

Ok, I'll leave it as-is then. Thanks much!--CaroleHenson (talk) 13:25, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
