This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Forts in Comparative, Global, and Contemporary Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1736, the colonial governor la Louisiane ordered construction of an outpost on the central Tombigbee River in present-day Alabama, U.S.A. Fort Tombecbé was part of the larger French effort to secure claims to the lower Mississippi Valley and the northern Gulf of Mexico against British and Spanish...
Eighteenth-Century Choctaw Pottery from Fort Tombecbe (2015)
The French established Fort Tombecbe in 1736, in part, to secure their relationship with the eastern Choctaw. Over the following twenty-seven years, thousands of Choctaws visited the fort to trade, and, by 1763, a large town was located nearby. Choctaw pottery recently excavated from French components at the fort adds to a regional and offers insights into the relationship between the Choctaw and French during the middle of the eighteenth century at a remote frontier fort.

Locally-Made or Transported Heirlooms?: XRF Source Analysis of Post-Removal Choctaw Ceramics from Southeastern Okahoma (2015)
This paper explores the benefits of using compositional analysis in order to investigate whether post-removal Choctaw-made ceramics were locally made in southeastern Oklahoma and/or were transported from their original homeland in east-central Mississippi. A total of 20 sherds were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) to determine their chemical composition. 10 sherds are from two post-removal Choctaw sites, 34MC544 and 34MC399 and were compared with 10 sherds from the Pevey...
Using XRF Analysis on Historic Choctaw Ceramics from Chickasawhay Creek, Kemper County, MS (2018)
In partnership with Tennessee Valley Archaeological Research (TVAR), this poster presents the results of an x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) analysis of ceramics recovered from historic Choctaw (Late 17th - Early 19th century) contexts at sites (22KE630 and 22KE718) located along Chickasawhay Creek, Kemper County, MS. In the fall of 2017, a sample of ceramic sherds was selected for chemical sourcing at the University of Alabama. XRF was used to non-destructively identify ceramic...
