Abstract
The Davis-McPeek site (41UR4/99) is an Early Caddo (ca. A.D. 900-1200) mound and associated village on an alluvial terrace along Little Cypress Creek, in western Upshur County in East Texas. The site, with one known mound, has been known since the early 1930s, and in the early 1960s Buddy Jones conducted archaeological investigations in the mound. A small collection of ancestral Caddo artifacts from that work are curated at the Gregg County Historical Museum (GCHM, Longview, Texas), and this article provides an analysis of this collection.

Jones' excavations revealed that the mound at the site was built from both sand and clay fills, sometimes intermixed, and ceramic shcrds and charcoal fragments were present in the lowermost mound fill deposits
Alba arrow points and a Red River long-stemmed pipe sherd are part of the Early Caddo material culture assemblage at the Davis-McPeek mound site and village
Summary
Notes on file at the UGHM imlicate that Jones excavated about half of the western side of the mound (on the Spencer property) (Figure 2). He excavated one Caddo burial that was under the mound fill. Skiles of the Wood County Archaeological Survey relocated the mound in 1979, along with an associated midden deposit (earlier noted by Woolsey, see Nelson and Perttula 1993:Figure 1) He made a surface collet:tion from the midden, and this included an Alba point, a Red River long-stemmed pipe sherd, and eight l:i:
