A Chronology of Complicated Stamping in the Lower Savannah River Valley
Author(s): Keith Stephenson; Karen Smith
Year: 2015
Summary
The presence of Middle Woodland period complicated stamped pottery in the lower Savannah River valley would represent the earliest examples of this type of surface treatment in the South Appalachian region, if the dating were certain. Here, we attempt to construct a chronology of complicated stamping for the lower Savannah River valley by reference to sites and assemblages for which age can be inferred by independent means. We simultaneously attempt an attribute-based analysis of complicated stamped pottery in the region to more fully understand its developmental history from the Middle Woodland onward.
