Named by Gordon Willey in 1949.
This seems to be just a single motif within the broad category of Swift Creek Complicated Stamped.
It does not seem necessary to name Crooked River as a separate type.
Complicated stamping on sand-tempered pottery.
The designs are rectilinear zigzag lines or chevrons in a herringbone-like manner.
The chevrons are continuous down the side or around the body of the vessel.
This is an early Swift Creek type with the marker notched and/or scalloped rims-thus the type name.
The interiors of the vessels are smooth.
Vessels are straight-sided pot forms with rounded bases.
Middle Woodland Santa-Rosa, Swift Creek period.
Early Swift Creek period.
Northwestern Florida and Southwestern Georgia.
