218The most common surface treatment was fabric impressed (66.7%), followed by plain (22.2%),complicated stamped (7.1%), and eroded (3.6%). Of the prehistoric features with OCR dates, oneof the six is believed to have its origins in the Wilmington/Hanover Phase.SANTEE/MCCLELLANVILLEThe Santee series is represented by a sandy paste and is primarily simple stamped. A similar wareis McClellanville, which also has a sandy paste with simple stamping. In general surfacetreatments may include plain, simple stamped, fabric impressed, and cord marked. Anderson et al.(1982: 304) suggests that simple stamping is the only finish that can be unambiguously attributedto the Santee series, although research by others suggests that plain, incised, cord, and fabricmarked wares may also be associated. The Santee type was found to be coeval with both the PeeDee and Savannah types, suggesting that it dates into the Mississippian Period. McClellanville, onthe other hand, may be slightly earlier as has been suggested by Trinkley (1981: 18), who believesthe ware dates from AD 500 to AD 800. Santee has been found in contexts from about AD 700 toAD 1400. It is possible that Santee is an outgrowth of McClellanville. Twenty two examples wererecovered, representing 3.09% of the identifiable collection. The most common surface treatmentwas cord marking (45.5%) followed by simple stamped (31.8%) and fabric impressed (22.7%).One large vessel was identified in several fragments. It consisted of a hemispherical bowl withcross simple stamping and a notched rim. The inside of the vessel is uneven, and fingerimpressions can be noted in reflected light. This appears to be Santee.PEE DEEThe Pee Dee series is sand tempered and is characterized by carved paddle stamped designsincluding concentric circles, the filfot cross, arc angles, herring bone, line blocks, quartered circles,and split diamonds (Reid 1967: 5-8). Pee Dee dates to the Late Mississippian (AD 1400-1600). Atotal of 26 sherds (or 3.4% of the recognizable collection) were recovered from Yauhannah Bluff.The vast majority of them (61.5%) were stamped with a complicated stamp design. Elementsincluded figure eights, concentric circles, arc angles, philphot cross, and line blocks. Otherdecorative motifs were incised (19.2%), reed punctate (11.5%), and plain (7.7%) and eroded(3.6%).Several of the sherds contained well-smoothed interiors, which is more typical of the SavannahSeries. However, the paste clearly contained sand inclusions and since the series becomesincreasingly uncommon heading north of the Savannah River, it is highly unlikely that the wares areSavannah. The Savannah series overlaps Pee Dee and has been found at sites dating from AD1200 to 1400. Of the prehistoric features with OCR dates two of the six are believed to have theirorigins in the Pee Dee Phase.ASHLEYThe Ashley Series is characterized by “carved paddle stamped with enlarged motifs, carelesslyapplied decorative motifs, burnishing, finger punctated rim strips and folded rims, sloppy incising,corncob impressed type present” (South 1976: 28). Stamping is bold with the space between thelands fairly wide (between 3.0 and 5.0 mm). The paste is highly variable, typically with somesmall sand inclusions. Rim strips are common and tend to be folded and/or finger pinched.
