Recently, R. G. Campbell has proposed a model accounting for the architectural variability in the Antelope Creek focus of the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. Although the model was drawn by extension from the adjacent Apishapa focus, it postulates a developmental sequence within Antelope Creek from isolated circular to isolated rectangular to contiguous multiunit structures. Only partial chronological support for the sequence was presented. This paper summarizes Antelope Creek chronological information and tests Campbell’s model. Thirtyeight radiocarbon dates provenienced by the three architectural types are used in the test. The results indicate that the mean date for each of the architectural types yields a sequence opposite of that proposed by Campbell. Although no significant difference was found in the mean age of the isolated circular and isolated rectangular structures, the age of the multiunit structures was significantly earlier at the .05 level. The rejection of Campbell’s model indicates both the dangers of extrapolating data from adjacent cultural manifestations and indicates the complexity of Antelope Creek architectural variation. Alternative factors are proposed but are not explored
