This type was originally defined by Gordon Willey for the Florida Gulf Coast. Willey states that this pottery is similar to other cord marked pottery in the Southeast, and that this type should be merged in with some of the other cord marked pottery of the interior. The Early designation is based upon the notched or scalloped rim forms.
