- W831448237 abstract "Swift Creek Gift: Vessel Exchange on the Atlantic Coast. NEILL J. WALLIS. University of Alabama Press, 2011. xiv, 247 pp., ill., tables, references, index. $48.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8173-1717-1; $24.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8173-5629-3; $24.95 (e-book), ISBN 978-0-81738484-5.In Swift Creek Gift: Vessel Exchange on the Atlantic Coast, Neill J. Wallis marshals a persuasive array of evidence from distinctive complicated stamping and chemical and mineralogical analyses of Late Swift Creek vessels, sherds, and clays to reveal intimate cultural ties between distant, diverse communities on the coastline of southeast Georgia and northeast Florida. research on mound ceramics supports his conclusion that seemingly everyday cookware was used, principally through marriage gifts, to forge permanent social and political bonds among these communities.Wallis discusses key theories of gift exchange in Chapter 1, What Is a Gift? He defines a giftas a process by which objects of exchange become variously integrated with social worlds in ways that are dependent on context (p. 12).Following this model, the Swift Creek carved wooden paddle engenders a stamped vessel, which acquires a sort of personhood by association with its creator. vessel then accrues its own biography in social space and time, ending with its mound burial.In a wide-ranging chapter on The Swift Creek Cultures, Wallis introduces Swift Creek technology of wood and earthenware over three-quarters of a millennium (ca. A.D. 100-850) through its early, middle, and late manifestations. Design matches of complicated stamped pottery across diverse inland and coastal cultures during the entire Woodland period highlight intimate social interaction and exchange involving seemingly representational carved paddles and stamped vessels. Its broad dissemination suggests thatcomplicated stamping may have been an effective way to extend social relationships and further the renown of the descent group or person that ultimately claimed ownership of the design (p. 51).In Chapter 3, Cultural History and Archaeological Overview, Wallis focuses on Swift Creek pottery from the Atlantic Coast of southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida. On the coast he finds that Early Swift Creek, ca. A.D. 200-550, is restricted to northeast Florida, while Late Swift Creek, ca. A.D. 550-850, is more broadly distributed as far north as the Altamaha River in Georgia. In these late phases, however, Wallis detects a difference in culture between the Evelyn mounds in southeast Georgia and the more prevalent ones around the St. Johns River in northeast Florida. At the same time paddle matches in both regions and in south-central Georgia attest to social interaction across these different cultures.Chapters 4 and 5 present the main results of chemical and mineralogical analyses of clay and pottery, including their natural constituents and added tempers. goal was to discover the manufacturing context or provenance, as distinct from the depositional context, of Swift Creek complicated-stamped vessels. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) of clay and pottery produces chemical data that helps narrow the locations of manufacture and reveal nonlocal vessels in mortuary mound assemblages. …" @default.
