The Passaïc Culture, named for its type site near the Passa River Bend, is an archæological culture of Great Kirav that flourished along the middle latitudes of the Eastern Seaboard between 6800 and 6500 BC. It represents one of the (perhaps precocious) flowerings of Mesolithic horticulture on the continent, characterised by the low-intensisty cross-cultivation of buckwheat and honeybees.
During high modernity, ethnic romanticists writing in Kiravic claimed that the people of the Passaïc Culture were the direct cultural and genetic ancestors of the Kir people, though there is no clear scientific evidence of this.
