The Zimms site (34RM72) is a late prehistoric village located along a tributary of the Washita River in western Oklahoma. In 1973, excavations uncovered a nearly square semisubterranean wattle and daub structure (Structure 1), while surface surveys revealed the presence of numerous trash pits, burials, and additional structures. Analysis of Structure I architectural features, associated radiocarbon samples, and cultural materials indicates that the Zimms site does not presently conform with the known archaeological sequence for western Oklahoma. While the architectural floor plan shares some similarities with certain Antelope Creek phase structures located to the west of Zimms in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, the cultural remains are more characteristic of Washita River assemblages found in central and westcentral Oklahoma
