Abstract
Controlled surface collections and excavations at the Gast Farm site show that the western part of the site consists of a Late Woodland Weaver "phase" village dating to ca. A.D. 300 (uncalibrated). In this paper we examine the ceramics from this occupation, define those attributes which characterize Weaver pottery at Gast Farm, and compare the material with assemblages from several other sites. The assemblage is most similar to that from the early Weaver Carter Creek site and to other Weaver sites along the Mississippi river. The Gast Farm ceramics may be employed to define a regional cultural entity (phase) within the Weaver complex.
