Info

An identical bead is present in the University ofGeorgia collections from the Lower Cherokee town ofTugalo (Smith and Williams 1978) and is reported from the site ofFort Moore (Story n.d.: Type 179), both located upstream from Mt. Pleasant. It has also been reported from the Lower Cherokee town ofTomassee (Smith et al. 1988). This bead seems to be more common in the English sphere of trade. Type 14. Opaque white olive shaped wound necklace bead with eroded, floral inlay. None ofthe inlay remains, but beads ofthis type were commonly decorated with pink, red, blue, or green glass. Number ofSpecimens: 1. Diameter: 7mm. Length: 12mm. Provenience: Test Unit 2, Level 4. This is Kidd type WIlI--. No beads like this were found at Guebert, but similar beads were found at Fort Michilimackinac (CII, SC, Tl, Vc) and at Trudeau (WIIIB3). This bead has been observed in collections from Great Tellico, an important Overhill Cherokee town(author's notes), and are reported the Cherokee sites ofHiwassee Old Town (Fenstermaker 1978:Plate IV), Fort Moore (Story n.d.:Type 58,59), and Tomassee (Smith et al. 1988), all well within the English sphere ofinfluence and trade. Discussion The beads from Mount Pleasant form a small, but interesting collection. Many of the types are common in widespread areas ofthe Southeast, but a few ofthe beads have restricted distributions suggesting that perhaps they were traded only by the English. Thus beads such as Types I, 12, and 13 may prove to be good markers for eighteenth century English trade. REFERENCES CITED Brain, Jeffrey P. 1979 Tunica Treasure.
