In the past, archaeological sites in western Oklahoma have been recorded as the result of notification by interested local residents, limited surveys along oil and gas pipelines, or restricted surveys within proposed reservoir floodpools. Responding to this lack of regionally planned methodological research, the Oklahoma Archeological Survey conducted the first systematic surface survey in this area along the Quartermaster Creek watershed in Roger Mills and Custer counties. Sites recorded from this survey suggest an intensive prehistoric occupation during the past 2000 years, with a settlement change from lowland to upland zones through time. Both zones include habitations which range from large, permanent villages to small, temporary camps. In addition to the prehistoric occupation of the watershed, historic EuroAmerican sites make their appearance by the late 1800s
