This volume provides a broad, comparative review of current data from \"first potteries\" of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains and in the lower Mississippi River Valley, and it presents research that expands our understanding of how pottery functioned in its earliest manifestations in this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded are discussions of Orange pottery in peninsular Florida, Stallings pottery in Georgia, Elliot's Point fiber-tempered pottery in the Florida panhandle, and the various pottery types found in excavations over the years at the Poverty Point site in northeastern Louisiana. The data and discussions demonstrate that there was much more interaction, and at an earlier date, than is often credited to Late Archaic societies. Indeed, extensive trade in pottery throughout the region occurs as early as 1500 B.C. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese and other findings make this book indispensable to those involved in research into the origin and development of pottery in general and its unique history in the Southeast in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Saunders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817351272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817351274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.46w x 0.75d","brand":"Rebecca Saunders","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086959063295,"sku":"9780817351274","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bef9b37-eb0f-4d9c-908e-90af7a9125fd.jpg?v=1769097485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-pottery-rebecca-saunders-9780817351274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
