Test Excavations at 20 Archeological Sites on the Poinsett Electronic Combat Range, Sumter County, South Carolina, Volume 2: Appendices

摘要

This appendix presents the descriptive results of the ceramic analysis for the 1997 Phase II investigations at 20 prehistoric archeological Sites located in Poinsett Electronic Combat Range, Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter, South Carolina. The collection of 2,622 ceramics represents a sampling of nearly every prehistoric occupational period present in the Lower Wateree River valley, an estimated span of some 3,000 to 3,500 years. The typological classification and functional characteristics of the collection as a whole will be described and enumerated in this appendix. The entire ceramic collection was subjected to a single analytical program consisting of a set of attributes developed by the author for ceramic assemblages from the central and northern Coastal Plain of South Carolina. The coding sheet for the program and the raw data from the analysis are contained in Appendix B.
