Scholarly Attributions:
[1]Treatment of edge of mace-like rim tail may be a Walls phase ceramic trait, suggesting this item was a trade item and not made at Manley. [This information is not recorded in the accession file. Hester Davis was given as the source in the database, citing her 21 March 1995 letter, but no mention of this information is made.] [2] Telephone conversation with Marian Kunetka, Assistant Registrar Arkansas Archaeological Survey (501) 575-6552 confirmed the location of Manley Site, Parkin Phase (3SF25) in St. Francis County, Arkansas. Late Mississippian vessels were excavated at the site. She came across a Manley Site (3MS106) in Mississippi County as well. Also, she said that the Manley Site (3SF25) was discussed in the book THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY IN THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI ALUVIAL VALLEY, Peabody Museum, Cambridge, 1951. Lisa Senchyshyn June 1997. |
