Público Deposited

This edition is created from an audio recording of an interview between John Parris and Duane King on April 16, 1982. The recording is 8 minutes and 44 seconds long. During this interview Parris asks about a number of artifacts within the Cherokee Indian Museum, including stone mortars, a quern, khanomas, and stosi (pestles). They discuss the time periods in which these artifacts might have been constructed, but King emphasizes that it’s difficult to put a specific date of construction to these artifacts. He says that it is much more important to look at the cultural context of the artifact.
