The Caddos and Their Ancestors Archaeology and the Native People of Northwest Louisiana, Where They Are and Their Place in History: "Our historic records only go back a couple of centuries, but we have evidence of people here for the last 12 to 14,000 years. That, of course, we know most of that time through archaeological research, through the study of the objects, and the alterations to the landscape that people left in the past. It's a different perspective on the past. We don't have specific individuals or specific events that we know about so much, but it's more looking at changes in people's life ways through that immense amount of time."
