The Marksville connection
hopewell archaeology : the chillicothe conference • Kent, Ohio • Published In 1979 • Pages: 188-199
By: Toth, Alan.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Marksville is a site, a phase, a culture, a period, and a ceramic style. Toth summarized Marksville with an emphasis on ceramics which show some Illinois Havana decorative influences. These ideas about decorative styles seemed to have moved south along with a few ideas about burial practices and only a small amount of direct trade. 'The previous discussion indicates that Marksville ceramic development approached the rich attainments of northern Hopewell and that certain unconnnected concepts pertaining to mound burial were widely adopted throughout the Lower Valley. The full extent of Hopewellian mortuary ceremonialism, however, never was incorporated fully into the Marksville cultural system.' (page 199). Only the data pertaining to Hopewell or Hopewell-like artifacts were indexed for OCM (Outlline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
