Abstract
For two millennia, prehistoric populations manufactured and used pottery in Ohio’s Hocking Valley; much debate has occurred among scholars concerning ceramic traditions and transitions. This study utilized Energy Dispersive X-ray and X-ray Diffraction technologies to explore what clay resources were used in production, if and why transitions in production occurred, and how archaeologists might best understand ceramic manufacture in the Hocking Valley. Results demonstrate a long continuity among ceramics produced with a systematic shift in temper resources during the Late Prehistoric Period; changes appear to be less the result of cultural tradition and more related to functional performance and opportunism.
