This suggests an arrival and/or influence of shell tempering in southwest Virginia later in time, as suggested by Holland. On many sites plain surface vessels occur in greater than anticipated frequency, particularly later in time, and are commonly tempered with mussel shell rather than gastropod shell. In general, during the latter stages of the Late Woodland Period the same cultural group was tempering its vessels with either crushed limestone and/or gastropod shell, and that the preference for gastropod shell increased through time. This would in part explain the combination of limestone and gastropod shell tempered ceramics noted by Egloff with net and cord-marked surface treatment. Also, the indigenous people of southwest Virginia may have, independently of the two outside influences, developed a shelltempered pottery almost identical to the limestonetempered Radford Ware and the sandtempered Wythe Ware. Likewise, the shelltempered ceramics from the Robertson Mound (44LE0010) in Lee County are Dallas.
Ancient entered a little ways into southwest Virginia. This distribution suggests Bluestone Phase influence of Ft. Ancient culture in West Virginia, are nearly identical to the plain ceramics (small percentage) at 44TZ0001 (Crab Orchard) and Richland’s Hospital Site (44TZ0051). David Fuerst’s ceramic illustrations of the Bluestone Phase of the Ft. Both outside influences highlight solely cord marked and plain surface treatments. Holland and Egloff recognized that shelltempered ceramics included two entirely different outside influences: one from the Fort Ancient culture coming down the New River and the second from the Mississippian culture (Dallas Ware) coming up the Tennessee River. There appears to be two cultural influences from outside the region as well as indigenous development within the region for shelltempered ceramics. Shelltempered ceramics in southwest Virginia are difficult to explain. On larger jars and storage vessels, corn cob impression may occur on their recurved necks, normally over either cord or net surface treatment.ĭiscussion: New River Ware as first defined included everything that was shell tempered in southwest Virginia. Recently, corn cob marked sherds were recognized as occurring very late in time from small jars. Keyser Ware is cord marked only, probably related to cultures located further to the north in western Pennsylvania, and should not be considered part of New River Ware. A related shelltempered type, Keyser Cord Marked, found in the Shenandoah Valley was included in the original ware description.
Evans tabulated three sherds and Holland only two sherds from southwest Virginia that were shell tempered and fabric impressed. Fabric-impressed ceramics should not be considered a type within New River Ware.
Except for temper this ware was said to be quite comparable to Radford Ware. Surface Treatment: New River Ware as originally defined had net, cord, fabric and plain surface treatments. Occasionally some of the gastropod shell tempered pottery will also have crushed limestone included as temper. Paste/Temper: New River Ware is tempered with crushed mussel shell and occasionally gastropod shell with particles ranging from fine flakes to large chunks 6 to 8 mm in length.
