Description
Absorbed residue analysis was performed on a variety of forms of pottery from the early Emergent Mississippian component at the George Reeves site. The results of this analysis are compared in terms of vessel form and function and similarity to residues at neighboring sites. The increasing depth of data on absorbed pottery residue analysis allows a more thorough understanding of the relationship between pottery form and function in the Emergent Mississippian of the American Bottom, and of a pattern of what might be termed ‘consistent changes’ in the Emergent Mississippian diet.
