Early ceramics and culture: a review of interpretations
early woodland archeology • 2 • Published In 1986 • Pages: 598-608
By: Brown, James Allison.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Brown reviews the papers presented at the Early Woodland Conference at Kampsville. They are found in eHRAF documents nos. 11-39. Most papers conclude the Early Woodland is a time period and not a stage of cultural development. He describes the various articles on the development and spread of early ceramics and the role this new technology played. Pottery is not seen as a technological revolution and was not a response to any one thing. Brown reviews what the various authors had to say on Early Woodland subsistence and writes about settlement patterns in the Ohio Valley.
