Breaking a Preservation Barrier
Charred seeds, including those of goosefoot, amaranth, sedge, and possibly nightshade, were recovered from a Late Paleoindian context at the Bull Creek site in the Oklahoma panhandle. The use of these early successional plant resources at Bull Creek furthers our understanding of Paleoindian subsistence practices on the Plains, where preservation of plant remains is historically under-represented or under-reported. Bull Creek establishes an associ…
Florence-A chert end scrapers from the Lasley Vore (34TU65), Deer Creek (34KA3) and Longest (34JF1) sites and the eighteenth-century southern Plains hide trade
The importance of stone end scrapers in southern Plains artifact assemblages increased from AD 1200 to the mid-1700s. With Native involvement in the French hide trade, beginning in the early eighteenth century, end scrapers of Florence-A chert underwent a series of changes designed to lessen the costs of hide production (Vehik et al. [2010]. The Plains Hide Trade: French Impact on Wichita Technology and Society. In Across a Great Divide, edited b…
Baffles and Stockades
Southern Plains archaeologists have for years reported piecemeal data suggesting that ancestors of the Wichita Indians periodically built fortifications. Since 2003, we have conducted archaeological and geophysical investigations at multiple Late Prehistoric and European contact era fortified Wichita sites occupied between about a.d. 1500 and a.d. 1811. We seek to better understand the areal extent, timing, and structural changes associated with …
Digging Ditches
Antelope Creek people fought against Washita River people, Coalescent people fought against Middle Missouri people, and Oneota people fought against everyone.Like the widespread recognition of a link between Plains violence and resource shortages, this answer fits well with Ember and Ember's (1992) analysis, which also highlighted the importance of socialization for mistrust of outsiders.Violence across ethnic or cultural boundaries is well docum…

The Hide Trade and Wichita Social Organization
Compared with late prehistoric archaeological sites attributed to the Wichita, protohistoric sites in Oklahoma contain artifact assemblages indicating that hide processing for trade with French voyageurs became a primary economic activity. Yet aside from assemblage changes, little is understood about how market demand for hides and other animal byproducts altered Wichita social organization, if at all. In this article we investigate polygyny. We …
Corn, Beans and Bison
The economies of past Native American societies on the southern Plains are often viewed as bison dependent based on historical descriptions of mobile, horse-based hunters and early excavations that recovered abundant bison bones but few plant remains. Very little historical description is available for the plants used by these people and little attention has been given to the time depth of this adaptation. Over the past 25 years, research on Plai…
Ceramic Paint Cups and Lids Among the Southern Plains Villagers of Western and Central Oklahoma
There is a long history of Plains societies using paint in stylized and representational artwork. This artwork has been well documented by anthropologists as well as art historians. What is less well documented are the materials used in painting by these groups, especially the means of paint storage. This paper discusses the use of ceramic vessels for paint storage by late prehistoric Plains Villagers in south central and western Oklahoma. Attrib…

Redefining Plains Village Complexes In Oklahoma
The Custer and Washita River phases of the southern Plains are re-evaluated using data from recent research at Plains Village sites in central Oklahoma. Based on dates and variation in assemblages, settlement patterns, and subsistence activities, four temporally and spatially distinct but related complexes are identified and classified as the Redbed Plains variant. The Paoli phase represents the initial (A.D. 800-1250) sedentary occupation of the…

The Wheeler Phase and Cultural Continuity in the Southern Plains
Reexamination of the protohistoric Wheeler and Edwards complexes indicates very few differences between them. Indeed, the Little Deer site, the type site for the Wheeler complex, has many similarities to the Duncan site of the Edwards complex. The two complexes should be combined into the Wheeler phase of about AD 1400 or 1450 to 1700. The Wheeler phase people appear to have been indigenous Plains Caddoans derived from local Late Prehistoric grou…
Macrobotanical Remains from Two Early Plains Village Sites in Central Oklahoma
Examination of flotation samples from two Early Plains Village sites in central Oklahoma provides direct evidence for the use of a variety of native and cultivated plants. Abundant com fragments indicate that this plant was an important resource prior to A.D. 1250. The earliest evidence of the common bean in this area is also documented. Cheno-Ams and grass seeds may have been significant native plant resources. Although various nuts appear to ha…
Temporal and Geographic Variations in Subsistence Practices for Plains Villagers in the Southern Plains
Investigations at Southern Plains Village (A.D. 900-1450) sites have documented a subsistence based on com horticulture, gathering wild plants, and huntingprimarily bison and deer. However, comparisons of western and central Oklahoma villages revealed geographic and temporal differences in exploitation activities. A greater dependence on bison and other prairie resources was evident at villages in the western mixed grass prairie, whereas floodpla…
The Heerwald Site and Early Plains Village Adaptations in the Southern Plains
Since the 1957 excavations, the Heerwald site (34CU27) has represented a taxonomic problem for Southern Plains archaeologists. This article will re-examine this problem in light of results from a 1983 testing program at Heerwald and on the basis of a complete reanalysis of all cultural remains from the site. Heerwald is compared with other Southern Plains cultural manifestations to provide insights on social relationships during the Early Plains …
The Linville II Site (34Rm492) and Plains Village Manifestations in the Mixed Grass Prairie
Excavations at the Linville II site have provided new information on early Plains Village adaptations in the mixed grass prairie of western Oklahoma. The site is assigned to the Custer phase (A.D. 800-1250) and comparisons are made with other dated Custer phase sites in the region. As a result, many characteristics of this phase are redefined and clarified. Also, by comparing features, organic remains, lithic artifacts and materials, and pottery …
Plains Village Settlements in Central Oklahoma
Investigations at Plains Village sites in central and western Oklahoma have gone far toward delineating the lifestyles of early Southern Plains farmers. Yet, until recently, no systematic investigations had been conducted to determine the variety and distribution of these sites. A 1983 survey along the Washita River identified 48 prehistoric sites along a 15-mile stretch of the river. Analysis of the artifacts recovered from these sites shows tha…
Variation in the Washita River Phase of Central and Western Oklahoma
Recent investigations at a number of Plains Village sites in central and western Oklahoma have provided materials and radiocarbon dates that permit us to examine regional variations among Washita River phase (A.D. 1100-1450) sites. An analysis of available dates indicates that the temporal span for this phase should be redefined to about A.D. 1250 to 1450. A comparison of lithics, pottery, and settlement patterns reveals some distinctions between…
