| Zusammenfassung: | Bennie Keel's 1972 work at Upper Sauratown was the opening salvo of the Research Laboratories of Archaeology's 30-year Siouan Project, which continues under the guise of the ongoing Catawba Project. Keel's early work at the protohistoric Hardins and early historic era Belk Farm sites in the Catawba River Valley continues to inform the current phase of Piedmont Siouan research. This study compares and contrasts Keel's Hardins and Belk Farm ceramic assemblages with those from the later Catawba sites ofNassaw Town, Old Town, and New Town to achieve a diachronic view of Catawba ceramic development. This comparison reveals a long span of stylistic and technological continuity abruptly terminated by rapid emergence of the modern Catawba ceramic tradition between 1760 and 1770. |
