Note 1843 — Chapter VI · (continued 3)

For the Atlantic coast, papers by Abbott (American Naturalist, Ap. 72, etc.), later more comprehensively treated in his Primitive Industry, ch. 11; and for the middle Atlantic region, a paper by Francis Jordan, Jr., in the Amer. Philosoph. Soc. Proc. (1888, vol. xxv.). For Florida, Schoolcraft in the New York Hist. Soc. Proc., 1846, p. 124. For the moundbuilders, Foster’s Prehistoric Races, p. 237, and in Amer. Naturalist, vii. 94 (Feb., 1873); Nadaillac, ch. 4; and Putnam in Amer. Nat., ix. 321, 393, and Peabody Mus. Repts., viii. For the Mississippi Valley in general, Edw. Evers in The Contributions to the archæology of Missouri; W. H. Holmes in the Fourth Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, an improvement of a paper in the Proc. of the Davenport Acad. of Sciences, vol. iv. Joseph Jones in the Smithsonian Contrib., xxii., and Putnam in the Peabody Mus. Repts., have described the pottery of Tennessee. The Pacific R. R. Repts/ yield us something; and Putnam (Reports) was the first to describe the Missouri pottery. J. H. Devereux treats the pottery of Arkansas in the Smithsonian Rept., 1872. On the Pueblo pottery, see papers of W. H. Holmes and F. H. Cushing in the Fourth Rept. Bur. of Ethn. (pp. 257, 743); and James Stevenson’s illustrated catalogue in the Third Rept., p. 511. F. W. Putnam (Amer. Art Review, Feb., 1881), supplementing his work in vol. vii. of Wheeler’s Survey, thinks that the present Pueblo Indians make an inferior ware to their ancestors’ productions. The pottery of the cliff-dwellers is described in Hayden’s Annual Rept. (1876). Paul Schumacher explains the method of manufacturing pottery and basket-work among the Indians of Southern California in the Peabody Museum Rept., xii. 521. O. T. Mason’s papers in recent Smithsonian Reports and in the Amer. Naturalist are among the best investigations in this direction.
