Abstract:
The author deliberated the proper taxonomic sequence of ceramic series such as Oak Island, White Oak, Cape Creek, Thom’s Creek, Cape Fear, Hanover, and Papanow. Factors considered in the determination of actual dates that these ceramic series appeared included temper and surface. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating methods determined which Woodland period these ceramic series appeared. Several figures identified the NC coastal counties containing these sites or featured images of ceramic sherds.

Abstract:
This project was undertaken to deepen the understanding of Deep Creek ceramics from the early Woodland period, established by archaeological excavations at the Northern Coastal Plain’s Parker and Barber Creeks by David Phelps (1975, 1977, 1983). Methodology employed during this site work involved surface treatment and temper analyses of sherds. A conclusion drawn from analyses was a consistency between wares recovered and ceramic artifacts dating from this period. Data was represented in figures featuring images of the sherds from these sites and tables depicting temper size, abundance, and inclusions.

Abstract:
In 2000, excavation teams from East Carolina University returned to this area after a twenty plus year absence. Examined were the area’s early and middle Holocene chronology, typology, and geoarchaeology of the middle to late Archaic periods. Data was gathered through sedimentology, site formations, and mapping and shovel testing of the sand ridge. Recovered were flakes and sherds of ceramics and stone tools. Complementing the qualitative data were figures detailing sherd and site images. Tables contained data related to ceramic types and sample sizes for tool flakes and sherds.

Abstract:
Between 2001-2007, pottery from the early middle, and late Qualla periods was excavated from Tennessee Valley’s Coweeta Creek in Southwestern NC. Credited by the author as one of the first analytical comparisons of these ceramic styles, this article contains an analysis of cultural artifacts, Cherokee settlements, and lifeways of prehistoric and historic Cherokee groups. Also discussed were the Qualla ceramic series, sherd samples, and temporal differences between sherds. Images of and quantitative data for these sherds can be found in the figures and tables.

Abstract:
This was M.R. Harrington’s account of the discovery of Iroquois pottery surviving among the Eastern Cherokee, uncovered during his 1908-1909 expedition. Focused upon were the three principle forms of pottery characteristic of the Eastern Cherokee. Also discussed were three Eastern Cherokee women playing an active role in keeping the tradition alive, its production process, and similarities between Eastern Cherokee and New York Iroquois pottery.

Abstract:
The arrow heads, discovered in the 1960s, were discussed fully for the first time. Their fluted points, classified as Clovis or Redstone, were examined in terms of physical appearance and significance as a Paleoindian artifact. Particular significance noted by I. Randolph Daniel are the fluted points’ unrefined typological points; discovery from a single site; and evidence for the raw material not originating in NC. Included are a table with measurements and figure with images.
