The Beothuk culture formed around CE 1,500. This may have been the most recent cultural manifestation of peoples who first migrated from [[Labrador]] to present-day Newfoundland around CE 1. The ancestors of this group had three earlier cultural phases, each lasting approximately 500 years.{{sfn|Marshall|1996|pp= [https://books.google.com/books?id=ckOav3Szu7oC&pg=PA7 7–10]}}
