• Covers ten features from two eighteenth and early nineteenth century Choctaw houses and compared with data from Fort Tombecbé.
• Created four ceramic divisions, Chickasawhay I-IV, although incorporation of absolute dating results is not summarized well, and while there is consideration of the different social and economic behaviors (village versus fort setting, local versus provisioning from Mobile, etc.) that drove the manufacture and selection of Native made ceramics, no real conclusion is presented.
o I = ca. 1650 to 1730s??
o II = ca. 1730s to 1770 (Fort Tombecbé occupation)

o Nicked Rim Incised I-III
o Fatherland Incised II-III
