Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present archeological findings obtained from a re-examination of the ceramic sherds from the Grace Creek #1 site (41GG33). The Grace Creek site has been identified as having an early Caddo component by Jones, one that was contemporaneous with the Caddo occupation at the George C. Davis site. Story, in fact, identifies Grace Creek #1 as a "modest Alto-phase habitation site." This re-examination was occasioned by ongoing studies of the Early Caddo ceramics from the ca. A.D. 970-1260 Boxed Springs mound center, and the opportunity thus presented to compare the Boxed Springs ceramic assemblage with the Grace Creek #I site.

Turning from the discussion of the decorated sherd assemblage, the Early Caddo ceramics from the Grace Creek #I site are from vessels that are predominantly tempered with grog or crushed sherds (Table 8)
This reanalysis first disclosed that the assemblage of sherds (n=1g27) was mu~:h larger than reported by Jones (1957), and the inspection of the decorated sherds indicated that the Grace Creek #1 site was used during three periods of time: ca
Summary
The purpose of this article is to present archeological findings obtained from a re-examination of the ceramic sherds from the Grace Creek #I site (41GG33). The Grace Creek site has been identified as having an early Caddo component by Jones (1957), one that was contemporaneous with the Caddo occupation at the George C. Davis site (Newell and Krieger 1949: Story 2000). Story (2000:Figure 5 and Table 2), identifies Grace Creek #1 as a "modest Alto-phase habitation site." This re-examination was occasioned by ongoing studies of the Early Caddo ceramics from the ca. A.D. 970-1260 Boxed Springs mound center (Perttula 20 II), and the opportunity presented to compare the Boxed Springs ceramic assemblage with the Grace Creek# I site
