CULTURAL AFFILIATIONS

This type has occurred only in sites which have Alto Focus pottery; it

has not been found in Bossier Focus sites which lack established Alto

types. In the Bossier Focus, the related engraved type seems to be

_Maddox Engraved_, which in northwestern Louisiana has cross-hatched

engraved bands, generally not curving and most often vertical, as the

major element. In central Louisiana _Maddox Engraved_ type has been

extended to include curvilinear bands of cross-hatched engraving (Suhm

and Jelks, 1962: Pl. 50). The decoration on Plate 50, _F_ of this

handbook is very much like _Carmel Engraved_ and this vessel probably

should be included in this type instead of _Maddox_.
