J. L. Giddings has been kind enough to call my attention to an oversight in my recent note on the occurrence of organic tempering in northeast Asia and Alaska (Chard 1958), wherein the data adduced indicated a relatively recent date for the use of feather temper on the Alaskan side. Giddings' own excavations in oval house pits on the Choris Peninsula have revealed a thin, well-fired pottery much like that designated as "Norton linear-stamped," but tempered entirely with down feathers (Giddings 1957). Although satisfactory radiocarbon dates have not been secured, Giddings suspects an age of over 3000 years for the site on the basis of crosscultural comparisons, which would make this perhaps the earliest pottery in the area.
