title = "Cohabitants, Captives, or Trade: The Early Late Woodland Non-Weaver Ceramic Assemblage at the Marseton #2 Weaver Village in Mercer County, Illinois",
abstract = "The Marseton #2 site is a Weaver ring midden in the Mississippi Valley of Mercer County, Illinois, that was buried by a catastrophic flood event a few centuries after the site had been abandoned. Analysis of the more than 740,000 ceramic items from the village provides insights as to Weaver interactions with other non-Weaver early Late Woodland groups of the region. While the presence of non-Weaver ceramics at the village might represent trade items, or vessels manufactured by potters peacefully or forcibly brought to the site, it is suggested that a non-Weaver household producing Levsen-like ceramics was coexisting at Marseton #2 alongside multiple Weaver households.",

note = "Funding Information: The Marseton excavations were possible through funding provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT); the support of former IDOT chief archaeologist Dr. John Walthall is gratefully appreciated. Support for the current research was provided by ISAS, courtesy of its director, Dr. Thomas Emerson. Hertz Farm Management, Inc., the property owner, and Randy Marseton, the tenant farmer, graciously permitted ITARP access to the site and allowed excavations to begin before that parcel was purchased by IDOT. Marcia Martinho produced the artifact figures, Robert Hickson drafted Figures 1–3 and 10, and Jennifer Edwards produced Figure 5; all of these images are used courtesy of ISAS. Research Collections Director John Cordell of the Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist, University of Iowa, provided access to the ceramics from the Levsen Rockshelter, which are curated at that facility. David Benn, William Green, David Nolan, and two anonymous reviewers provided helpful and constructive comments on an earlier draft of this manuscript.
