This was named by Frankie Snow in south-central Georgia for material that was "semi-fiber tempered" that is, fiber tempered with the addition of sand. This may represent a transition series from fiber tempered to sand-tempered pottery. Named after the Satilla River, this is part of what Snow called the Satilla series. See Willacoochee Check Stamped also.
