The Plum Bayou people were in touch with the early Caddo
people of southwest Arkansas, with people of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast
as far east as Florida, with people up the Arkansas Valley as far as Fort
Smith, and probably with people to the north in the Mississippi Valley
near St. Louis. This bowl from Toltec is evidence of contact with people
of the Coles
Creek culture in Louisiana where pottery with this distinctive design
composed of curvilinear lines and triangular punctations is very common.
It belongs to a type of pottery that archeologists call French Fork Incised.
