Abstract

Munson writes about the types of ceramics found in the central Illinois River valley and what that means for the culture history of the area. The first portion of the paper describes the following ceramic types: Black Sand Incised, Liverpool Cormarked, Morton Incised, and Fettie Incised. Then using the ceramic assemblages from three sites he proposes the following phases for the central Illinois River valley: Marion phase, Late Marion/Early Morton phase, and Late Morton/Caldwell Phase, which are Early Woodland phases, and Fulton Phase, Ogden Phase, Frazier Phase, and Weaver Phase, which are Middle Woodland. The Black Sand tradition is then summarized. Only the material that pertains to the Early Woodland time period were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
