Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
This study of Chickasaw pottery vessel forms dating to ca.1700 C.E. explores 268 reconstructed analytical vessels from six okaakinafa’ midden pits across two sites (22Le907 and 22Po755) located in and around Tupelo in Lee and Pontotoc counties, Mississippi. Ethnohistorical information, prior research, and oral traditions are gleaned for interpretive information on Chickasaw cuisine and domestic organization. This account of vessel form and function is compared with published studies on other groups and aids interpretation of innovations and traditions in Chickasaw domestic life and adaptation to a rapidly transforming colonial economy.
