The Antelope Creek focus was first defined by Alex Krieger in 1946 based on second-hand information derived primarily from the WPA projects at Antelope Creek Ruin 22 and Alibates Ruin 28. Although subsequent fieldwork has changed some facets of the culture construct, much of the information in recent summaries still reflects the original definition. Recent integration of notes, maps, letters, journals, and photographs from early archaeological fieldwork in the Canadian River valley of the Texas panhandle has uncovered misconceptions and overlooked information about Antelope Creek focus architecture and community patterning. The early fieldwork and reasons for Krieger’s (1946) interpretations are discussed prior to assessing the archaeology at the two type sites. The subsequent examination of historical documents provides new insights into the spatial patterning and functional differences evident in the Antelope Creek focus architecture and community layout
