Remarks on collection strategies or artifacts
  • We didn't collect human bone. Collection stratigies differed among units-e.g., shell was not collected in shovel tests, but all was collected in column samples. We never found exotic-non-local, but if
  • the large bags of bone were not counted
Un-coded site type
  • Artifact Scatter
  • Shoreline site adjoining bay and bayou
  • Village(prehistoric)
Un-coded culture description fired clay
Comments (Primarily temporal or functional interpretations)
  • While there may be both Swift Creek and Weeden Island components, the presence of Swift Creek potery in and of itself may not be sufficient to identify a Swift Creek component sinve early Weeden Islan
  • Prehistoric Weeden Island types
  • Weeden Island shell midden, single occupation, possibly a horseshoe shape midden.
