Extract

In a recent note, John W. Griffin has suggested that the form of the pedestal vessels from the Madisonville site is derived from a European model. He quotes Holmes, who thought the design was possibly copied from the work of southern neighbors (Middle Mississippian?), but rejects this conclusion on the basis that “the pedestal of this vessel can hardly be considered related to the annular bases and occasional pedestal-like bases of Middle Mississippi vessels.”
