Tipton Phase
The Tipton Phase is an archaeological phase in southwestern Tennessee of the Late Mississippian culture. Other contemporaneous groups in the area include the Parkin Phase, Walls Phase, Menard Phase, and the Nodena Phase. The Tipton Phase is the last prehistoric people to inhabit the area before the arrival of Europeans. It is located directly across the Mississippi River from the people of the Nodena Phase and directly north of the Walls Phase. During the early 1540s the Hernando de Soto Expedition passed through the area, stopping at many villages in the area.[1] The phase itself is named for Tipton County, Tennessee.

gollark: For one thing, the intro is a bit confusing and it could be read as "Mark" and "the man" being different.
gollark: Er, can you rotate it so I can read it?
gollark: Not all of them support that, and probably not all devices do.
gollark: It is kind of annoying that because of weird radio spectrum licensing, WiFi and whatnot suffer bad interference issues because of being limited to a set of small overcrowded bands.
gollark: If it's actual physical airspace, can you *buy* exclusive rights to that? If so, that sounds bad.
