The Yellow Creek Cache

The Yellow Creek cache was found on a bluff overlooking a small tributary of the Washita River in central Oklahoma. The cache contained a large number of tools, bifaces, and debitage of Florence-A chert. The source area for Florence-A chert is about 225 km to the northeast in south central Kansas and north central Oklahoma. The cache was created by a bison hunting expedition out of the Lower Walnut focus villages in south central Kansas during the period A.D. 1450–1720. Many of the objects in the cache had somewhat limited future utility but were cached anyway. Important factors behind creation of the cache include disposal of excess materials as well as the availability of lithic raw materials in the home location and the area through which the expedition moved
