===Early phase ''({{abbr|approx.|approximately}} 1000–1250 CE)''=== During this period, the Fort Ancients were several poor, sedentary societies. They lived in non-[[palisade]]d villages and had slight regional variances. The locals farmed primarily corn, beans, and sunflower—the latter being a plant first domesticated as a food source in [[Ohio]]. Most homes were what is known as a pit house, created by digging several feet into the ground and covering over the top of the resulting hole with a wooden frame roof covered in bark. Carbon dating has shown that Fort Ancient lands in West Virginia did not begin to be conquered until the middle phase.<ref name="ReferenceA">Ellis, Laura Elizabeth "Investigating the Orchard Site: A Protohistoric Fort AncientSite in West Virginia" 2015</ref>
