By: Butler, Brian M., Jefferies, Richard W..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Butler and Jefferies look at the Crab Orchard ceramic tradition and its possible origins. They also look at '…the relationship of Crab Orchard to surrounding areas and the origins and spread of conoidal, fabric-impressed ceramics.' (page 523). Crab Orchard is a very conservative ceramic tradition that spans the Early and Middle Woodland periods. Butler and Jefferies describe the ceramics, which are the best known, and a little of the culture. Only the data that pertain to the Early Woodland were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
