Virginia Indians from 1,000 to 3,000 years ago [1,000 B. C. - 1,000 A. D.] Archaeologists use the term, Woodland, to describe the cultures of native people from 3,000 to 1,000 years ago. Archaeologists have found the beginning of settled village life. They have found remains of long-term Indian camps which have prepared house floors and hearth pits. Some bands were using river locations as camp sites. This was true of bands living in Henrico County. Population continued to rise with more mixing of groups of people and increased trade. When people no longer move about constantly, they are settled [sedentary], rather than nomadic.
