Pisgah Smoothed Over Complicated Stamped

Background

Defined by Patricia Holden and later revised by Roy Dickens from excavation in western North Carolina. Probably not a type that is of much use in Georgia. Presumably named after Pisgah Mountain.

Sorting Criteria

Just as the name says on grit-tempered pottery. This is presumably the same as what some researchers have called obliterated stamped, or roughened pottery.
