Punctated

Named for Allendale County, South Carolina, by James Stoltman based upon his work at the Groton Plantation.

Eugene Waddell defined this as a young amateur in South Carolina. Chester DePratter reports that sites with this usually have only this type of pottery on them, and reports one such site near Savannah. Material is very similar to Thom's Creek Punctated and Refuge Punctated. Named after Awendaw Creek or the town of Awendaw in Charleston County, northeast of Charleston, South Carolina.

This type was defined by Gordon Willey in 1949. Named after the Carrabelle site, 8Fr2, in Franklin County, Florida.

No one has used this name excepted for on the Chauga site, 38Oc47, on the Tugalo River under Lake Hartwell.

Name used by Antonio Waring in reference to sherds that are probably Brewton Hill Zoned Punctate. The name Churupa is a Marksville type name from Louisiana, and certainly should not be used in Georgia again, although there may be some distant relationship between the two.

This type was defined by Marion Heimlich in northeastern Alabama based upon WPA excavations in the Guntersville Reservoir on the Tennessee River. Named after the town of Columbus, Alabama, in Marshall County.

This type was used in table by Wesley Hurt as part of his analysis of pottery from the Walter F. George Reservoir. No other information is available about this type. Its use is obviously not advised. Presumably named after the town of Comer in Barbour County, Alabama.

Not discussed by Gorden Willey in his 1949 report. Ripley Bullen suggested that this might be a type in Florida. Named after Crystal River site, 8Ci1, in Citrus County, Florida. Seems unlikely that this is present in Georgia.

Named after the Crystal River site, 8Ci1, in Citrus County, Florida by Gordon Willey in 1949.

This is named for the old town of Dallas, Tennessee, now at the bottom of Chickamauga Lake.

Named by Gordon Willey for incised material from the Englewood Mound, 8So1, in Sarasota County, Florida. We doubt that this type occurs in Georgia.

Named after the Etowah site by Robert Wauchope.

John Goggin defined this type from north central Florida.

The Kelvin series was defined by Fred Cook for late Swift Creek ceramics on the central to lower Georgia Coast. He considered this material sufficiently unique to warrant a separate series designation. The material was named after the Kelvin Grove subdivision site on St. Simons Island. Cook considered this a tentative type.

Named by John Griffin after the Lake Jackson site in the northern city limits of Tallahassee, Florida.

This has never been formally defined as far as we know, but it is commonly used by archaeologists.

Defined by John Goggin and then Jerald Milanich. This may derive from Carrabelle Punctated. John Worth includes this as part of his Suwannee Valley series. Presumably named after Lochloosa Lake near Gainesville, Florida.

Named after an island flooded under the waters of the Guntersville Reservoir in northeastern Alabama. Named by Marion Heimlich.

Named after an island flooded under the waters of the Guntersville Reservoir in northeastern Alabama.

Not in Willey 1949. We are uncertain where or if this was ever used. Named for Pinellas County, Florida.

Named for the Refuge site north of Savannah, on the Savannah River, which was excavated by Antonio Waring.

This type was originally defined by Gordon Willey. Named for the Safety Harbor site, 8Pi2, in Pinellas County, Florida.

Named by Gordon Willey for Santa Rosa County, Florida, based upon his 1949 survey.

The defining factor in St. Johns series is the temper. The temper in this type is diatomaceous earth that occurs along the St. Johns River and in the clay naturally.

This is fiber-tempered pottery from the lower Georgia Coast. These are the original names given to the fiber tempered pottery in Georgia based on work by Preston Holder on St. Simons Island in the 1930s. However this type did not have a written description and people began recognizing that this was the same pottery as the Stallings Island pottery and dropped the use of this name.

Named used by Antonio Waring for his work at Bilbo in Chatham County and at the Sapelo Island shell ring. Never formally defined. Most people have not separated the so-called Stab and Drag design from regular punctated fiber-tempered types as Waring has done here. See St. Simons Punctated.

Defined by James B. Griffin in the 1940s. Known for a long time from the Stallings Island site and the 1920s excavations by the Cosgroves that was reported by William Claflin. Antonio Waring used the name Stallings Island Punctate, but the type name without the word Island is the preferred one at the present.

Type named based upon a few vessels seen by James B. Griffin. Once thought to perhaps be in Georgia, Chester DePratter reports that it probably is not.

Named by Chester DePratter and Mark Williams as a result of reanalysis work on the collections from the Deptford site (9Ch2).

Name used informally by Robert Wauchope. Never used again, perhaps for good reason. Not recommended for Georgia or Florida.

This type was originally defined by Gordon Willey for the Florida Gulf Coast. Named after the Weeden Island site, 8Pi1, in Pinellas County, Florida.

This type was originally defined in the Wheeler Basin on the Tennessee River in north-central Alabama based upon WPA excavations there in the 1930s The fiber-tempered pottery of this area has traditionally been looked at as later than that occurring in the Savannah River basin and Florida. Formerly called Bluff Creek Punctated.
