Abstract
The A. C. Gibson site (41WD1) is an ancestral Caddo site located on a natural knoll at the base of an upland landform, adjacent to the floodplain of the Sabine River and Cedar Lake, an old channel of the river, in southwestern Wood County, in the Post Oak Savannah of East Texas. Two Caddo ceramic vessels are in the collections from the site held by the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin. These vessels are documented in this article.

Jr., and he turned those notes over to the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin in August 1998, along with his notes and comments. These notes are employed to discuss the character of the ancestral Caddo cemetery, which apparently dates sometime between ca. A.D. 1550-1680 during the late Titus phase, and the associated funerary offerings in the 20 burial features. The late Titus phase cemetery at the Harold Nix had 20 individual burial features arranged in apparent northeast-southwest rows (Figure 2).
