Notes:
The transformation of the "spider" theme from the earlier Hightower forms does parallel the changes in the "turkey"--aviform-- gorgets in that the more naturalistic lines of the Hightower "spider" gorgets are modified into circles and straight line designs.
It is surely significant to our understanding of these temporal transformations that the two themes that have the same kinds of morphological transformations are found associated in single grave lots both in Hightower and Hixon forms.
