For over 100 years, excavations have occurred at many Middle Ceramic/Plains Village period sites and structures in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. However, only within the last 10 years have a few small, circular-to-oval, deep-basin pithouses been identified across parts of this same region during the Middle Ceramic period (about 750 to 450 B.P. or A.D. 1200 to 1500). Data on the few tested or completely excavated pithouses are presented, discussed, and their chronological positions indicated. Although the cultural assemblages associated with newly identified pithouse structures appear similar to those of Antelope Creek phase, the presence of small, circular-to-oval, deep-basin pithouses and other previously unrecognized structure types (picket-post structure) have created uncertainty as to what cultural group(s) these structures belong. The age ranges for the few dated pithouses fall within a 400-year period of the currently identified Antelope Creek phase. Consequently, pithouses do not appear to reflect a separate, distinct population movement into the region, but likely represent a distinct winter house type
