Comment on Weaver's “Technological Analysis of Lower Mississippi Ceramic Materials”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
Weaver draws conclusions that need to be supported by more experimentation before they can be taken seriously by archaeologists. Thin-section analysis of ceramics from the St. Louis area has yielded certain facts that are briefly presented in order to show that grog-tempering is common in the Mississippi valley. Crushed-sherd tempering is a cultural reality and does not represent inclusions in potter's clay as Weaver suggests.
