A framework of Neo-American archeological complexes has been 

 established for the Caddoan Area, consisting of two broad divisions, 

 the Gibson and Fulton Aspects, and a number of affiliated foci. 

 Recognition of these different complexes is based upon studies of 

 distribution and associations of artifact types and other cultural 

 traits. T\nien the Knight's Bluff Village material is compared to 

 the complexes of the various foci and aspects of the Caddoan Area, 

 however, it is readily apparent that a neat assignment to one par- 

 ticular focus, as the foci have been defined, is not possible. Instead, 

 there is a somewhat complicated mixture of types from several differ- 

 ent focal complexes. 



The following list is of pottery types thought to be resident types 

 of the Knight's Bluff Village. Opposite each type is the focus (or 

 foci) with which it is affiliated in the classification of Caddoan Area 

 complexes established by Krieger, Webb, and others.* 



Resident typea Focal affiliations 



Nash Neck Banded Texarkana and McCurtain Foci, Fulton Aspect. 



McKinney Plain Texarkana Focus, Fulton Aspect. 



Barkman Engraved Texarkana Focus, Fulton Aspect. 



Pease Brushed-Incised Bossier Focus, Fulton Aspect. 



Dunkin Incised, late variant Bossier Focus, Fulton Aspect, and Phase 3 of 



Alto Focus, Gibson Aspect. 

 Baytown-like No affiliations noted in the Caddoan Area ; 



probably related to types of the Coles Creek, 



Troyville, and Marksville complexes of the 



Lower Mississippi Valley. 

 Minor reaident types 



Haley Engraved Haley Focus, Gibson Aspect. 



Belcher Ridged Belcher Focus, Fulton Aspect. 



Cass Appliqued Glendora and Texarkana Foci, Fulton Aspect.

Aspect. 



Hatchel Engraved Texarkana Focus, Fulton Aspect. 



Foster Trailed-Incised Texarkana and Belcher Foci, Fulton Aspect.

Fulton Aspect. 

 Rattle Bowls Frankston, Texarkana, and Titus Foci, Fulton 



Aspect. 

 Antioch Engraved Fulton Aspect (?). 



Examination of the list reveals that the only Gibson Aspect types 

 that might be considered resident types are Dunkin Incised, late 

 variant, of the Alto Focus, and Haley Engraved of the Haley Focus. 

 Dunkin Incised, late variant, is also considered indigenous to the 

 Bossier Focus, and consequently can be considered a Fulton Aspect 

 tj^pe. (There is the possibility, it will be recalled, that some of the 



♦Author's note. The cultural affiliations listed here for some of the types are not 

 exactly the same as those given by Suhm et al. Their suggested afSliations, based on 

 extensive distribution studies, are undoubtedly more accurate than mine.
