Bilbo Plain

Background

Name used by Antonio Waring for plain fiber tempered pottery in Chatham County on the northern Georgia Coast. Named after the Bilbo site in Chatham County. This material is the same as Stallings Plain material and St. Simons Plain. Stephen Williams gives a good description of the confusion / politics associated with this triple naming in the Waring Volume (Williams 1967:103-105).
