Abstract:
The former Curator of Archaeology of the National Museum in Washington, Neil M. Judd, had to solve many mysteries in his position. One was the puzzle of the Cicada Whistles, which came from Missouri, Virginia, and North Carolina. These surface finds were identical in size and made colored clay in two-piece molds. It is still a mystery if they were made by prehistoric Indians or contemporary commercial groups.

Abstract:
Evidence for Native Americans varied greatly depending on the region. Along the coast, shell middens were found and or around village or lodge sites. Some of these sites were seasonal often used for fishing during summer months. In the mountains, cave and rock shelters were sought out for protection. Pottery was typically found in fragments or sherds, but occasionally an entire vessel was discovered. In the 1940s, the Archaeological Society of North Carolina was attempting to find and preserve any remaining Native American pottery.
