Ceramic-based Informational Model



This figure is an information exchange model for southern New England using ceramic data. The basic concepts of selection and transmission are borrowed from Neff (1993). The model illustrates some of the cultural factors which may have influenced stylistic continuity and change within the late Windsor ceramic tradition. This diagram uses pottery from the Late Woodland and Contact Periods (ca. 500-300 Years B.P.). For more information, refer to the late Windsor chronology.
