Examining Small-scale Variations within Late Mississippian Complicated Stamped Pottery from St. Catherines Island, GA (2017)
Late Mississippian (AD 1300-1580) ceramic typologies on the Georgia coast broadly group pottery based on 1) temper (coarse grit) and 2) surface decoration (incising, stamping, and rim decoration). Recently, Late Archaic and Mission period pottery studies focused on small-scale ceramic variations, which reflect micro-styles, were successful in identifying patterns related to past pottery communities of practice. Using a similar approach, I present data on three Late Mississippian village ceramic...

Investigating Late Mississippian Incised Pottery on St. Catherines Island, GA (2016)

In this paper, I characterize Late Mississippian mortuary and village incised pottery on St. Catherines based on temper, rim attributes, designs, and incising techniques. In addition, I examine vessel forms and sizes to...
