The Swift Creek Gift
2011
Overview
Assesses Woodland Period interactions using technofunctional,
mineralogical, and chemical data derived from Swift Creek
Complicated Stamped sherds A unique dataset for
studying past social interactions comes from Swift Creek
Complicated Stamped pottery that linked sites throughout much of
the Eastern Woodlands but that was primarily distributed over the
lower Southeast. Although connections have been demonstrated,
their significance has remained enigmatic. How and why were
apparently utilitarian vessels, or the wooden tools used to make
them, distributed widely across the landscape?
This book assesses Woodland Period interactions using
technofunctional, mineralogical, and chemical data derived from
Swift Creek Complicated Stamped sherds whose provenience is fully
documented from both mortuary mounds and village middens along
the Atlantic coast. Together, these data demonstrate formal and
functional differences between mortuary and village assemblages
along with the nearly exclusive occurrence of foreign-made
cooking pots in mortuary contexts.
The Swift Creek Gift provides insight into the unique
workings of gift exchanges to transform seemingly mundane
materials like cooking pots into powerful tools of commemoration,
affiliation, and ownership.
