Single-Grain Optically Stimulated Luminescence Ages of Brownware Pottery in the Middle Rocky Mountains and the Spread of Numic Ceramic Technology

Abstract

This study presents the results of a single-grain optically stimulated luminescence (SG-OSL) analysis of brownware pottery from four Late Prehistoric-period sites in the Middle

The Occurrence of East Texas Caddo Ceramic Vessel Sherds in Central Texas Archaeological Region Sites, ca. A.D. 900 to the late 18th Century

“…However, it is considered likely that Toyah folks gained knowledge about ceramic technology from ancestral Caddo populations, and that the adoption of pottery, as among other hunter-gatherers (cf. Finley et al 2017), may have been the result of economic intensification associated with hot rock cooking and the procurement and processing of bison hides and meat for more than 450 years (ca. A.D. 1250-1700).…”
