McLeod Simple Stamped, Late Variety

Background

This type is the same as Deptford Simple Stamped. Named by Steve Wimberly after the McLeod Estate site in Clarke County, Alabama. This type was included on the Georgia list by Caldwell in 1969 for unknown reason.

Sorting Criteria

Sorting Criteria for this type are the same as for McLeod Simple Stamped, Early Variety. Ware characteristics that distinguish the late variety are widened and flattened rim folds, and neat modeling of rounded rim folds.

Geographical Range
Mobile Bay and presumably southern Alabama. We doubt that this extends into southwestern Georgia, use the name Deptford Simple Stamped in Georgia instead.
Chronological Range
Middle Woodland to Late Woodland?
