Lines and Legacies: Ceramic Assemblages from the Weeden Island Site (8PI1)
Author(s): Christina Sampson
Year: 2015
Summary
The Weeden Island site (8PI1) is perhaps best known for its connection to the eponymous Woodland period culture, found in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, and characterized in part by the use of a specialized class of decorated mortuary wares. In the Tampa Bay area, both the regional movement and local production of pottery contributed to the adoption of new ceremonial practices in the late Woodland period. I present here a study of ceramic collections from early 20th century work at the Weeden Island burial mound in the context of archival materials and new excavations of off-mound portions of the site.
