The Lasley Vore protohistoric settlement on the Arkansas River in eastern Oklahoma is the most intensely excavated candidate for the Tawakoni village visited in 1719 by the Frenchman La Harpe, the first known European visitor to this region. Excavations at the site concentrated on 81features, mostly hearths and pits. The thorough excavation and aggregation of features into 10 discrete clusters provide an opportunity to investigate the internal use of space and the organization of labor, primarily through the stone tools from five of the feature clusters. An analysis of lithic use-wear reveals an almost universal emphasis on hide scraping throughout the site. In addition, the study has generated distinctive functional profiles for the clusters, highlighting areas of domestic activity, tool maintenance, light industry, woodworking, and repair of weapons
