AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
'…[E]vidence gained from several years of surface survey and limited excavation indicates that ceramics with Tchula-like surface treatments exist in the Western Lowland of southeast Missouri along the Ozark border. It is highly likely that these ceramics represent a Tchula horizon coeval with classic Tchefuncte developments to the south and Alexander manifestations to the southeast.' (page 545). These ceramics show superior workmanship and are more decorated than cordmarked ceramics. They appear similar to ceramics found to the south in the lower Mississippi Valley.
