“…Whereas Middle and Late Caddo potters (AD 1250-1690) produced a wide variety of forms and motifs (Girard et al 2014), Early Caddo potters used just a small subset of pottery forms on which to place repeating abstract curvilinear motifs. Lambert (2017Lambert ( , 2021aLambert ( , 2021bLambert ( , 2021c, working with almost 300 whole vessels in the northern and southern Caddo area, illustrated the range of vessel forms made by Caddo potters (Figure 3). There are five vessel groups: bottles, bowls, jars, beakers, and effigy vessels, with the last group being very rare in Early Caddo contexts.…”

“…The emergence of craft production in developing societies is often analogous to changes in settlement patterns, social structures, and the emergence of ritual complexity (Appadurai 1988;Hodder 1982;Weiner 1994). People then transform objects into social facts (Wright 1996) that are continually experienced by others who produced and used them (Lambert 2021b). Crafted objects acquire multiple layers of value, power, and meaning through their production process, the social structure and agency of the artisans, and the diverse groups who use them for discrete practices and traditions (Costin 1998;Spielmann 2002).…”

This article investigates the rise of social complexity of Cahokia's multiethnic city through a robust stylistic grammar analysis of early Caddo fine ware vessels at Cahokia's East St. Louis Precinct. We explore ceramic production and distribution to shed light on whether Caddo-like fine wares were produced by Caddo potters who lived and crafted at Cahokia, were produced by local Cahokia potters who copied Caddo motifs, or were imported to Cahokia from the southern Caddo area. This investigation helps us better understand the nature of Caddo connections at the beginning of Cahokia's development and provides a means of identifying and interpreting new levels of social interactions between the Caddo world and Cahokia. The stylistic grammar results show that the majority of the Caddo-like vessels at Cahokia have identical stylistic grammar as vessels from the Caddo world. This strongly suggests that Caddo craft specialists migrated to, lived, and crafted their homeland vessels at Cahokia and thus were key social actors in its development.
