In Table 16, the Trader Point midden data are compared with the Revised Frontier Pattern presented by Wheaton et al. (1983:271) which is based on South's Frontier Pattern (1977). The Trader Point assemblage falls within the range ofkitchen, clothing, arms, and activities groups, but it is outside the range of the Revised Frontier Pattern for architecture, tobacco, personal, and furniture. The artifact pattern at Trader Point is complicated by the diversity of site types superimposed within it. Table 16. Revised Frontier Pattern compared with Trader Point Midden.

Chapter 5. Mount Pleasant Viewed in Perspective The survey and excavations at Mount Pleasant identified several important eighteenthcentury components that provide different potential for research. It is an important Indian site because few eighteenth-century Indian sites have been excavated in Georgia or South Carolina. Even fewer have been thoroughly reported. This is especially true for sites associated with the Yuchi tribe. The archaeology ofthe Yuchi is so poorly known that archaeologists are in complete disagreement ofwhat types ofpottery the Yuchi used. Mount Pleasant is important because it is firmly identified as a Yuchi site based on early historical diaries, drawings, maps, and other records. Although by the time the Yuchi moved to Mount Pleasant there was mixture with the lower Creek tribes, much oftheir culture remained intact. The Mount Pleasant Yuchi town is an important find for gauging the archaeology ofthe Yuchi. Its discovery will be helpful in identifying other Yuchi settlements throughout the Southeast. Comparsion of Ceramics from Mount Pleasant with Other Yuchi Towns The area near the mouth ofUchee Creek, Alabama was settled by the Yuchi shortly by 1729 and no other tribes are associated with this location in historic times. Also Westo and Hogologes on the Chattahoochee may be synonomous with the Yuchi. At least six archaeological sites have been identified near the mouth ofUchee Creek in Russell County, Alabama that possibly are associated with the Yuchi. Of these, site lRu63 has been the most studied. Work on the site includes survey and test excavations by Chase (1960), additional excavations by Huscher (1958), and systematic shovel test survey by Schnell (1982). Chase's work resulted in the location of three burials, a large refuse pit, and a house floor. Burial 1 contained three small grit-tempered pottery vessels. Burial 2 contained one fine cord marked, grit-tempered pot and one incised, shell-tempered pot. Burial three contained the broken remains of one fine cordmarked shell-tempered pot with rim fillets just below the lip. Euro-American trade items were found with all three burials. The sealed house floor contained almost no brushed pottery and the collection was mostly shell tempered. Minor amounts of Ocmulgee Fields Incised and Kasita Red Filmed pottery also were found in the house. Commenting on the pottery Chase stated: the pottery was mostly shell-tempered burnished incised and plain wares occasionally with pinched rim fillets regarded generally as characteristic of the Ocmulgee Fields 102
