My analysis tabulates design motifs by site and/or locality, identifying a basic dichotomy between the northern / western area of the central Plains and the southern / eastern area, along with a third distinct pattern in the set of anomalously large sites on Ponca Creek in northeastern Nebraska. In the north and west, potters often used a diverse set of motifs on the faces of paneled rims and sometimes put Oneota designs on vessel upper bodies. In the south and east, they rarely decorated the face of any form of rim and sometimes put a pattern of alternating triangles filled with opposed diagonal lines on vessel upper bodies. This dichotomy maps onto a distinction between ossuary and cemetery burials and likely defines a social boundary between groups with long-standing interaction with different regions to the east of the Plains. The Ponca Creek data show a mixture of central Plains and Oneota styles along with hints of other regional patterns that may suggest the existence of a multi-ethnic community.","PeriodicalId":35520,"journal":{"name":"Plains Anthropologist","volume":"68 1","pages":"3 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48471558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This variation in rim and neck shape may reflect some difference in jar function. If so, the mix of functions was roughly similar over time (see Table 8.1). Most Mill Creek jars are Sanford ware jars, which are usually 55–77% of the total Mill Creek jar rims. Tiffany’s data suggest that decoration is more temporally sensitive—and in particular, the frequency of incised lines on the lip on Sanford ware (represented by frequencies of Mitchell Modified Lip) substantially increased over time (see Table 8.1). In Levels 12–13, Mitchell Modified Lip comprises 22–32% of rim sherds; by Levels 2–3, they comprise 61–73% of rim sherds. This book is an important one for researchers interested in Great Plains ceramics, both for Tiffany’s skillful application of ceramic data and for the raw data he makes available for future research.

Excavations at Goodson Shelter yielded over 2 m of largely intact deposits, which, based on radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating, along with a substantial record of temporally diagnostic projectile points, indicate the site was periodically occupied from the Archaic through the Woodland period. An extensive record of faunal remains suggests that over the course of the site’s occupations it was used primarily as a deer hunting and field processing locale. That this site was repeatedly used for such a specialized activity is likely due to the topography in the vicinity the shelter, which made it an opportune spot for intercept hunting, and thus one that played a long-term role in settlement and subsistence strategies.","PeriodicalId":35520,"journal":{"name":"Plains Anthropologist","volume":"67 1","pages":"372 - 404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45566785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
