Tucker R. Littleton is remembered for his contributions to the field of archaeology. Tucker recorded over 1,000 archaeological sites in North Carolina. Most of the sites were in the southern coastal region of the state and were among the first recorded in their counties. Tucker is remembered for his ethical archaeological research as he donated most of his materials to the public so that they can be preserved and appreciated by locals and the widest possible audience.

Abstract:
This brief comparison of ceramics from the Hollywood mounds with ceramics from the Town Creek mound in North Carolina emphasizes similarities in the physical appearance of the pottery and in the presence of an urn-burial complex at both sites. Material from upper levels at the Hollywood mounds is described as showing striking resemblances to the material from Town Creek. The Lower levels at Hollywood possess "Southern Cult'' material not duplicated at Town Creek, where "Southern
Cult" influence is minor.

Holmes observed that the burial mounds in Duplin, Sampson, Robeson, Cumberland, and southern Wake counties had certain common characteristics. In this article Hogue outlines methods for analyzing the skeletal material found in these ossuaries.
