• 456 pages of description.
• State in conclusions that the study “provides a refined and detailed overview of the diversity and content of Choctaw ceramic complexes” (Little et al. 2016:458).
• (Little et al. 2016:459) Derive from seriation, radiocarbon dates, and other research, that Chickasawhay occupants (sites in the report) were Plaquemine and Pensacola, not Moundville-related populations.
• Largely confirmation of ethnographic and historical sources on settlement, materials culture, architecture, etc. although it is unclear how much input from the Choctaw there is on the interpretations, etc.
• Volume II contains primarily appendices, but also some discussions of the process and knowledges about making the recovered artifacts. It seems odd to not have included this in the main report.
