Extract

Robert C. Suggs (1958: 432-3) mentions having found at the Manakaway site in Greenwich, Connecticut, sherds from a vessel decorated with curvilinear motifs in dentate stamping. At the Pelham Boulder site, Bronx County, New York, similar pottery has been found by the writer in the subsoil, and within the lowest third of the midden, never higher. Suggs implies that I attributed the sherds to "Hopewellian contact" in a short preliminary paper I wrote (1956). Nowhere in my paper have I mentioned a Hopewellian contact. I did say, however, that “such motifs are reminiscent of some Hopewellian patterns.” There is quite a difference in meaning and implication.
