Talk:Mississippian culture pottery

Future expansions

I'd like to add a few more sections to the notable local traditions section, specifically:

• Negative painted wares from the Lower Ohio Valley connected to the Kincaid Focus/Angel Phase
• Fabric impressed wares from Wickliffe
• Influence of Cahokian wares on Plaquemine culture sites such as Winterville, Holly Bluff, and the lower Arkansas, Northern Louisiana, and Eastern Mississippi area
• Something from the Carolinas, Georgia Florida area? Should be something, but personally dont know specifics about that region.
• If a good reference, possibly a book or several articles, could be found about the head pots of the Central Mississippi Valley, it could be split off from the effigy pot section and given its own section in the notables section.
• Possibly a section on Oneota pottery, since it think it may be heavily derived from Cahokian influenced wares, not sure about this tho.

Suggestions are welcome, although I dont want this to turn into a page repeating the same info over and over about sites with similar wares, only notable traditions or large sites which exerted a wide influence should be added to this section. Any additions should come well sourced and cited, I'd like to get this article to GA if possible, unsourced stuff I can't track down easily will probably be removed.Heiro 03:36, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Phrasing

"The collective ionic charge acts to cause the clay plates to repel each other"... should that be particles? Or are 'clay plates' a particular pottery term for something other than the obvious (like internal shear lines, or something)? Because two separate clay plates not having enough friction against each other doesn't sound like much of an issue, to me. >_> --MedlamValence (talk) 01:25, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Precolumbian Beeswax

The section of Materials and Techniques entitled Painted Decoration asserts that beeswax was available to the Mississippian culture for making pottery. If I'm not mistaken, this can only be obtained from honeybees (Apis mellifera) which would not have been available to the Mississippian culture prior to European contact. Is there some explanation why beeswax is included in this section? The material culture was already in decline at the time of European contact and vanished completely soon afterwards.
