Early Formative Cultures in Georgia and Florida
History of development of the American Formative concept is briefly outlined. A chronology is presented that covers the three millennia before the Christian Era and which extends from Ecuador to the Ohio Valley. The Stalling's Island complex of fiber-tempered pottery from the coast of Georgia is compared with the Valdivia Period ceramics of Ecuador, and the Orange fiber-tempered wares of Florida are compared with the Machalilla Period ceramics of…

In Favor of Simple Typology
Proponents of the 'type-variety' method of ceramic analysis are criticized for mixing analytical units and the rank hierarchies appropriate to synthesis, and for semantically substituting 'type-variety' for 'type' without actually changing the method of analysis
A New Earth-Shaking Machine
In the fall of 1954 the undersigned had occasion to investigate the discovery of an eastern fluted projectile point in an excavation being made for the erection of a flagpole memorial to the man who originated the Tadpole Club. In preparation for this expedition to a Boy Scout camp near the Delaware Water Gap we decided to build a motor-driven sifter. This machine has operated so well on this and succeeding trips that it seems to warrant a brief …
Comment on A. C. Spaulding, “Statistical Techniques for the Discovery of Artifact Types”
First let me say that I am thoroughly sympathetic to all efforts toward development of more accurate methodology. But the application of statistics and other techniques to our problems, without regard for basic culture theory, cannot be regarded as an advance in technique. For years there have been arguments as to whether cultural types — pottery types to be specific — were pre-existing units in culture history that could be discovered by a good …
Additional notes on the Poverty Point Site in Northern Louisiana
The two large mounds at the Poverty Point and Motley sites in West Carrol Parish, Louisiana, were first adequately described by C. B. Moore (1913, Fig. 29), and for a long while these structures and the cultural remains scattered about them remained one of the principal puzzles in the archaeology of the lower Mississippi Valley. Clarence Webb has made extensive surface collections from this locality for a number of years and his three articles in…

V Pottery
The pottery from the sites of the Tchefuncte period has been classified into a number of different types. As used by us, the type is a kind of average of an arbitrarily limited range of overlapping traits which have been abstracted from whole vessels and sherds that appear to be similar. Typology is checked against stratigraphy and stratigraphy against typology, to determine the utility of the type as an indicator of cultural change in time and s…
VI Ceramic Stratigraphy
The only excavations of Tchefuncte sites which produced materials suitable for laboratory analyses of the temporal behavior of the pottery types characteristic of the period were those undertaken at the Tchefuncte middens and Big Oak Island. In Tchefuncte midden A, five hundred five-foot squares were dug to the bottom of the midden by six-inch levels. For purposes of analysis, adjoining squares of uniform total depth were grouped together in orde…
VII Interpretations and Conjectures
A comparison of Tchefuncte traits suggests that there are three groupings or foci which at present comprise the Tchefuncte culture. The Copell site on Pecan Island, although a single site, represents the first group. The absence of pottery, presence of artifacts with burials, interment in a cemetery, and other traits tend to isolate this component from other Tchefuncte groupings. The three shell midden sites, Tchefuncte, Little Woods, and Big Oak…
IV The Tchefuncte Artifacts
In this section of the report we have described the artifacts representative of the Tchefuncte culture as a whole. These artifacts were made of pottery, stone, bone, and shell—pottery vessels, however, are described in the next chapter. Clay Tubular Pipes. —Tubular pipes made of fired clay are a diagnostic trait of the Tchefuncte period (Fig. 7). Complete specimens averaged about 15 cm. in length and the stem diameter increases gradually from abo…
II The Tchefuncte Period Sites
The first publication dealing with materials which have since come to be included in the Tchefuncte horizon was an article by J. R. Czajkowski, published in the Louisiana Conservation Review for July 1, 1934. This was a brief summary of the first six months' exploration by a Civil Works Administration project of extensive shell deposits near Little Woods, Louisiana, along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, east of New Orleans. All of these middens…
III Tchefuncte Period Burials
It appears that in the original excavations of the Little Woods site Czajkowski found skeletons in the middens at different points. The following is taken from his article in the Louisiana Conservation Review: Most of the burials on the shell ridge were solitary and no funeral furniture or artifacts were found with them, with two exceptions: (1) On March 20th, two skeletons were found in a semi-flexed, east-west position. The following day, five …
