Abstract
AbstractBinford's specific postulate that archaeological corncobfilled “smudge pits” of the eastern United States were utilized for smoking hides is challenged as being too narrow, and an additional function is postulated, namely, that they were also used in some areas for smudging the interiors of ceramic vessels. Additional references to their archaeological occurrence are also presented, and it is argued that all of these features postdate A.D. 1000.
