annotates

• Argues that Chickachae Combed ceramics are relatively late, presumably resulting from the spread of European trade combs, particularly the French to the Choctaw.
o These combs did not last and were widely distributed, and repurposed.
• Argues for Bayou Goula and Fatherland Incised as originating with the Taensa before the moved to Mobile Bay. Supported by the Taensa coming into the earliest contact with the French, and their combs.
