The Prehistory and Paleoenvironment of Hominy Creek Valley. 1979 Field Season,

Abstract

The investigation of 12 prehistoric sites in Hominy Creek Valley within the proposed area of Skiatook Lake defined Plains Archaic, Plains Woodland, and Plains Village Period components. Plains Archaic Period occupations were determined not to be in primary context, while it was established that the large Plains Woodland Period sites located on the valley floor were expressions of intermittent reoccupations by small groups rather than village sites. The study also provided further clarification of the correlation between the cultural-historic and alluvial sequences of the valley. Additional palynological evidence was also obtained in an effort to reconstruct the Late Prehistoric environment of the valley. (Author)
