The Benton Phase (5,000 B.P. - 6,000 B.P.) in the Upper Tombigbee Valley
Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference (SEAC) 39th, 39th (Memphis Tennessee, USA , 10/27/1982–10/29/1982)
Abstract
SUPPLEMENTAL LINK: Recent archaeological investigations in the Upper Tombigbee Valley have provided a relatively firm chronological base of prehistoric occupations in northeastern Mississippi. Within the Archaic stage, the Benton phase {5,000 B.P. - 6,000 B.P.) stands out as an anomaly from all other known cultural phases. Firmly placed chronologically, this phase differs in site use, site facilities, technology, trading patterns, and site placement than those that precede or follow. This paper will describe this phase in the Upper Tombigbee Valley and offer alternative hypotheses for its distinctive characteristics and relatively abrupt end.
