Extract

Centering in Georgia and extending to the adjacent portions of the states of Tennessee, Alabama, North and South Carolina are a series of archaeological complexes characterized by pottery with a complicated stamped decoration. These complexes have not yet been sufficiently defined. This paper will attempt a partial statement of the resemblances and differences between the major divisions of the group. It will not attempt to evaluate the excavations in a detailed manner. This material is what Holmes (1903, pp. 130-137) called the South Appalachian Province in which he lumped all the stamped pottery from the southeastern area. The Swift Creek Complicated Stamped material as defined in a preliminary paper by Kelly (1938, pp. 25-31, Pl. 11, a) will not be considered here. It has become evident in recent years that subdivisions of the rest of the material could be made and that they would have temporal or spatial significance.
