Abstract
Jenkins summarizes the Miller Culture in the Tombigbee Drainage, especially the ceramics and lithic artifacts. The Miller I phase has Hopewellian-like burial mounds. The Miller II phase still contains Hopewellian-like burial mounds but lacks the numerous trade goods. It appears the people of the area no longer actively participated in the Hopewell interaction sphere after 1700-1600 B.P. (300-400 A.D.). The Miller Culture participated in a regional trade network that traded mostly with the more local cultures along with some of the Hopewell centers. Only the data pertaining to Hopewell or Hopewell-like artifacts were indexed for OCM (Outlline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
