WINDBREAK: A vertical or inclined framework of poles covered with
branches and leaves, skins, bark, etc. erected by primitive peoples
as a shelter against wind, sun, and storm.
WOODLAND: One of the major archaeological patterns of the eastern,
southern and central United States, characterized by plant-raising
(except possibly in its Initial Phase), by elongated globular clay
pots (with cord-roughened exteriors, pointed bottoms, and incised
line and punctate decoration), hamlets or small villages (except in
the Classic Phase), with flint spearheads (but no arrowheads except
in Final Phase).
WRAP-AROUND-SKIRT: A rectangular piece of clothing made of skin, fur, or
cloth worn by Hopewellian and Middle Mississippi women. It was
wrapped around the body from the waist to the knees or below and was
secured at the top by a belt or other means.
YUMA POINTS: Chipped spearheads of various general shapes including
leaf-shaped forms, without channeling.
