large shell middens some five miles below Fairohild*s, including
the burial mound at Ware's Landing, which provided a continuum
of Ueeden Island history when taken in conjunction with
Fairchildls neatly stratified middens. The basal deposits at
FairchildIs were a relatively "pur# Swift Creek shell midden,
with overlying shell lenses giving more and more evidence of
successive Weeden Island penetration. The same tendency observed
in the lower Flint was then asserted, with a dropping out of
Swift Creek complicated stamps and a tapering off of the Weeden
Island in a new period which he called the Wakulla Period. 81s
results correlated closely with those of Willey and Woodbury in
their northwest Florida survey and in Willeycs summation thereof.
Until the Smithsonian report on the lower Chattahoochee
is published or made available, and pending the results of present
extensive surveys on the lower to middle portions of the
Chattahoochee by the Smithsonian Institution and the University
of Georgia, it seems best to hold Flint-Chattahoochee comparisons
for the near future when the pertinent data will be so much more
abundant.
