Description
Hopewell Zoned Stamped vessel, Gibson Mound 5, Calhoun County, Illinois. The most obvious Marksville ceramic parallels are with the Bedford, Ogden, and Utica phases of the Illinois Valley which date between A.D. 1 and 150 (Griffin and others 1970: 6-7). The bird design and crosshatched rim on a Hopewell style vessel from Gibson Mound 5, used with zoned cord-wrapped stick background roughening, provide an unmistakable example of Marksville cultural c

Description
Mabin Stamped, var. Mabin vessel. Zoned cord-wrapped stick impressions are also found in the Lower Mississippi Valley. A square beaker from Crooks utilizes cord-wrapped stick impressions to emphasize a strange motif which possibly involves a plant/germination theme. Height 8.4 cm, diameter 9.7 cm, capacity 44 ml.

Mabin Stamped, var. Mabin vessel. An unusually large jar from Crooks again utilizes zoned cord-wrapped stick impressions. The Mabin variety is present at Marksville sites throughout most of the Lower Mississippi Valley, but particularly associated with Point Lake phase in northeastern Louisiana. Height 26.1 cm, diameter estimated 25.0 cm, capacity estimated 8000 ml. LSU No. 2279, Museum of Geoscience.

Hopewell Zoned Stamped sherd, Snyders site, Calhoun County, Illinois. Zoned cord-wrapped stick impressions, used in the Hopewell style, and the broad-billed bird motif both link the Illinois Valley with contemporary early Marksville phases in the Lower Mississippi Valley.

Marksville Stamped, var. Marksville vessel. Another diagnostic decoration shared by Marksville and Illinois Hopewell is the vertically bisected circle motif. A tubby pot from Crooks combines the vertically bisected circle with a crosshatched rim. The sloppy execution and the soft, thick ware of which the pot is fashioned, when compared to the very fine Hopewell vessels in the Illinois Valley, suggest that the direction of diffusion of ceramic ideas

Marksville Stamped, var. Marksville vessel. A beaker from Crooks uses a variation of the vertically bisected circle motif in which halves of the concentric circles are shifted up and down respectively. The variation demonstrates reinterpretation of Hopewellian ideas by local Lower Mississippi Valley societies. Height 10.0 cm, diameter 14.2 cm, capacity 1000 ml. LSU No. 5560, Museum of Geoscience.

Ceramic effigy platform pipe. Marksville copies of Hopewellian platform pipes in the local medium, fired clay, are usually plain. One effigy from the Crooks Mound portrays an unidentifiable mammal with a short tail and well-formed phalanges on both hands and feet. The Crooks pipe provides another important example of an attempt by a Marksville individual to duplicate a class of artifacts that reaches exquisite proportions in northern Hopewell. Len

Platform pipe, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. Clarence B. Moore excavated two mounds at Saline Point on Red River. In remains of the "upper mound," a local farmer found a rare lithic example of a Marksville platform pipe. It is made of red and buff silt-stone, a local material found in concretionery deposits scattered throughout Avoyelles and surrounding parishes. Similar ceramic platform pipes are known from the Marksville, Crooks, Grand Gulf, Sali

Marksville lithics. The lithic technology of the Marksville period has not been studied properly. The most common lithic artifacts include lanceolate, stemmed dart points, and in early Marksville contexts, prismatic blades. Boat-shaped atlatl weights, chipped celts, and bifaces round out the Marksville tool kit. Imported greenstone celts were found at the Crooks and Trammel sites.

Prismative blade, Mansford Plantation, Madison Parish, Louisiana. One of the most diagnostic early Marksville lithic markers, the prismatic blade, is found at a variety of sites. The finest example is from surface provenience at the multicomponent Mansford Plantation site. The long, curved blade resembles Illinois Valley examples produced by the Fulton technique. It is likely that a Marksville blade-core industry was inspired by Hopewellian contac

Prismatic blades, Mandeville site, Clay County, Georgia. Other southeastern cultural systems also may have adopted, or at least been exposed to, the same blade-core industry. However, samples from Mandeville in the Chattahoochee drainage of southwestern Georgia and from Garden Creek and Icehouse Bottom in the Appalachian Summit area include specimens made of Flint Ridge chalcedony - thereby suggesting imports from the Ohio Valley.

Vertically incised Marksville rims. Bands of rim decoration consisting of parallel incised lines are equally diagnostic of early Marksville as the more widely recognized crosshatched rims. Examples from the Marksville, Medora, and Smithfield sites are representative of this treatment. Vertically incised rims have been found on Hopewell style vessels in the Illinois Valley.
