  • Fifty Years of Western Kentucky Prehistoric Ceramics
    42 Fifty Years of Western Kentucky Prehistoric Ceramics Kit W. Wesler Abstract Berle Clay’s M.A. thesis on ceramics in the Tennessee-Cumberland region of Kentucky dates to 1963, but we can count fifty years from the completion of a manuscript on the Tinsley Hill site in 1961. The thesis established the foundation for a regional sequence for Western Kentucky. Since then a number of projects have added considerable data. However, several problems remain, such as the reconciliation of sub-regional schemes (e.g. Tennessee- Cumberland versus Mississippi River), insufficient data for characterizing Woodland period complexes, and the chronology of the transition from grog to shell temper. A suite of new thermoluminescence dates from ceramics at Wickliffe (15Ba4) offers a new perspective on the persistence of grog-tempered sherds into the Mississippi period. In 1961, Berle Clay wrote a report on the I can suggest a remedy for the later part of the 1960 excavations at the Tinsley Hill site. I do sequence, but not for the early part, and I can not know if I can say that it launched his career, only emphasize the need for systematic but the 1961 date makes a convenient, even if excavated data from midden and feature wholly contrived, point at which to look back contexts within the region as the potential over five decades of analyses of western solution.
