Mineralogical and Chemical Composition Characterization of Prehistoric (woodland Period) Ceramics from Fort Bragg, North Carolina
نویسنده
چکیده
As part of the Cultural Resource Management (CRM) evaluation process, fifty (50) Woodland ceramic sherds were selected by the Ft. Bragg (North Carolina) archaeological staff. The sherds were chosen so that they might give a sense of the range of variation that may exist within a single drainage and the differences that may exist between the river drainages (Table 1). The three river drainages in the study area are the Cape Fear, the Lumber and the Yadkin. The sample distribution may also allow evaluation of the ceramic material variation that may reflect the Piedmont and Coastal Plain geological and geographical provinces in Ft. Bragg study area. In addition, the Cape Fear sample suite, which is spread across three periods (Early Woodland, Middle Woodland, and Late Woodland), allows the assessment of how the materials (and procurement of these materials) to produce these ceramics may have changed through time.

As outlined in the scope of work, the goal of this investigation is to characterize the compositional variation in the metavolcanic rocks and the ceramic clays that would have been used by the prehistoric inhabitants of the Fort Bragg vicinity. This goal will be achieved by examining the chemical and mineralogical composition of 50 rock samples from various quarries in central North Carolina, a...
