伊利诺伊州南部前陶器福克纳遗址

作为对伊利诺伊州陶器前文化问题的介绍，似乎最好是简要回顾一下福克纳遗址挖掘之前的发现。兰福德在费舍尔遗址报道了第一个这样的表现。他注意到，在较低水平的砾石沉积中埋葬的是没有陶器的，而且物理类型与含陶器的地点不同。1931年，有人提到凯利在普利姆岛发现了相当古老的地质火盆。辛普森和肖恩贝克在伍德福德县的一个贝壳丘上挖掘了类似的火盆。这两个发现都被认为早于陶器的使用。在伊利诺伊州发现的福尔瑟姆点也被认为是相当古老的。在对卡本代尔地区的地面调查中，莫罗·麦克斯韦尔找到了生产大型打火石刀具、旗帜石、直柄尖头、大量打火石碎片的地点，但没有陶器。
As an introduction to the problem of pre-pottery culture in Illinois, it seems best to review briefly discoveries made previous to the excavation at the Faulkner site. The first such manifestation was reported by Langford at the Fisher site. The burials in the gravel deposits, lower level, were noted by him to have been without pottery and of a physical type different than that in pottery-bearing sites. In 1931 it was mentioned that Kelly had unearthed fire basins of considerable geological antiquity at Plum Island. Simpson and Shoenbeck have excavated similar fire basins in a shell mound in Woodford County. Both finds are considered to be earlier than the use of pottery. The Folsom points found in Illinois are also thought to be of considerable age. In a surface survey of the Carbondale area, Moreau Maxwell located sites which produced large flint knives, bannerstones, straight-stemmed points, quantities of flint chips, but no pottery.
