Abstract
Snow 'attempted to demonstrate that Swift Creek paddle designs are an important source of cultural information.' (page 98). Snow examines 'the data from the Hartford site, … as a case study in the reconstruction and analysis of Swift Creek art in an attempt to gain insight into what these people were thinking.' (page 61). Snow describes how he has studied Swift Creek ceramic designs and describes some of the symbolism behind the designs. Snow differs from others in that he trys to study the whole design as it would have appeared on the wooden paddle to better understand the people and their beliefs.
