Figure 60.—Interdigitated seriated pottery type sequence of the stratified excavations at the Easter site, 44Mc7. Each level is clearly distinguished by the respective block represented to the left of the graph. In association with these stone artifacts were fragments of two slate artifacts and an oval-shaped fragment of crude steatite which showed that it had received some use; its purpose could not be determmed. Among the Clarksville Fabric-Marked sherds were some with lips flattened before the vessel and lip portions were treated with the fabric. Other sherds which had received this same treatment showed that the fabric-marked was carried over into the throat area of the vessel. We found this same trait in relation to the textile-impressed. The distance down into the throat to which these impressions were carried varied not only from vessel to vessel but within a single vessel. In other words the impressions within the throat area were not uni- formly carried into the area. It would appear that the potter han- dled the pliable vessel with a fabric or textile in his hand and un- consciously impressed its elements into the clay. PAN HANDLE CREEK COMPONENT (44MclO) On the north bank of the Roanoke Eiver and 3,000 feet west of the confluence of Pan Handle Creek with the Roanoke River is a bad- ly eroded village site (44MclO). This site suffered severely during the flood of 1947. At that time great holes were gouged out of the area as though whirlpools played over the site. During our initial survey we thoroughly tested the remnants of this site and found two interesting features. One was a circular pit located feet beneath the present ground surface and slightly be-.
