Swift Creek paddle designs and the imperative to be unique

Swift Creek paddle designs and the imperative to be unique. Smith, K. Y. & Knight, V. J. Southeastern Archaeology, 36(2):122–130, 2017. Publisher: Routledge _eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/0734578X.2016.1246342

Paper doi abstract bibtex

The emergence of the Swift Creek style tradition represents a shift from two or three simple carved paddle designs to many thousands of unique paddle designs by middle Swift Creek then back to merely a few in late and post Swift Creek times. This explosion in designs is a striking phenomenon, in need of consideration. Increased design diversity implicates a rise in creativity, verging on an imperative to be unique, where none previously existed in this medium. In this paper, we offer a revised model of Swift Creek social dynamics by reference to the new-found creativity of paddle makers situated within the context of ethnographic case studies.
