Olive and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stratigraphic and Mineralogic Relations and Ceramic Properties of Clay Deposits of Eocene Age in the Jackson Purchase Region, Kentucky and in Adjacent Parts of Tennessee Clay deposits in the Jackson Purchase region, Kentucky, and in adjacent parts of Tennessee, in the northeastern part of the Mississippi embayment, are the major domestic source of ball clay. The deposits are widely spaced lenses in the Wilcox, Claiborne, and Jackson Formations of Eocene age. All deposits mined, except one in the Wilcox, are in the Claiborne. X-ray analyses of clay from deposits in each of the three formations show that clay-mineral composition varies according to stratigraphic position. The clay deposits in all formations are chiefly kaolinite, but montmorillonite, illite, and mixed-layer clay are present. Kaolinite is considerably more abundant in the Wilcox and Claiborne Formations; it averages 70 percent of the total clay in 16 samples analyzed. Montmorillonite, which rarely exceeds 5 percent in Wilcox and Claiborne clay deposits, generally makes up a large part, 14 to 50 percent, in most samples from clay deposits in the Jackson Formation. Clay that contains more than 10 percent montmorillonite is unsuited for most ceramic purposes. Thus, X-ray data indicate that the Claiborne and Wilcox Formations have greater potential as sources of ceramic-grade clay than has the Jackson Formation. Most commercial clay deposits in Kentucky are in lenses in strata indicated by pollen to be of middle and late Claiborne age. The pollen types and lithologic relations suggest that these clay lenses were deposited in two ancient valleys.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions by Keith A. Baca, Jeffrey P. Brain, Samuel O. Brookes, Ian W. Brown, Philip J. Carr, Jessica Crawford, Patricia Galloway, Alison M. Hadley, Christopher T. Hays, Edward R. Henry, Cliff Jenkins, Jay K. Johnson, Evan Peacock, Janet Rafferty, Maria Schleidt, Mary Evelyn Starr, James B. Stoltman, Andrew M. Triplett, Melissa H. Twaroski, and Richard A. Weinstein This volume includes original scholarship on a wide array of archaeological research across the South. One essay explores the effects of climate on early cultures in Mississippi. Contributors reveal the production and distribution of stone effigy beads, which were centered in southwest Mississippi some 5,000 years ago, and trace contact between different parts of the prehistoric Southeast as seen in the distribution of clay cooking balls. Researchers explore small, enigmatic sites in the hill country of northern Mississippi now marked by scatters of broken pottery and a large, seemingly isolated "platform" mound in Calhoun County. Pieces describe a mound group in Chickasaw County built by early agriculturalists who subsequently abandoned the area and a similar prehistoric abandonment event in Winston and Choctaw Counties. A large pottery collection from the famous Anna Mounds site in Adams County, excavations at a Chickasaw Indian site in Lee County, camps and works of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the pine hill country of southern Mississippi, and the history of logging in the Mississippi Delta all yield abundant, new understandings of the past. Overview papers include a retrospective on archaeology in the National Forests of north Mississippi, a look at a number of mound sites in the lower Mississippi Delta, and a study of how communities of learning in field archaeology are built, with prominent archaeologist Samuel O. Brookes's achievements as a focal point. History buffs, artifact enthusiasts, students, and professionals all will find something of interest in this book, which opens doors on the prehistory and history of Mississippi.
