Abstract
The Sipes Hill site (41RK602) is an ancestral Caddo site on Martin Creek, near Trammel's Trace, about 20 km from its confluence with the Sabine River. It is ca. 2 km downstream from the Martin Lake dam. The Sipes' Home site (41RK603) is about 100m to the northeast. This site was found and investigated by Buddy C. Jones in the 1950s or early 1960s. He did an unknown amount of excavations at the site, and ended up excavating at least one Caddo burial at the site; there are no available notes concerning these excavations or the burial feature, however. Whole vessels from the Sipes Hill site in the Jones collection are at the Gregg County Historical Museum.
Highlights
The utility ware vessels are small to medium-sized jars (n=3) and a carinated bowl
The fine wares are small to medium-sized Ripley Engraved carinated and compound bowls
The design elements and motifs on the Sipes Hill vessels are consistent with other Titus phase funerary wares from the mid-Sabine River basin
Summary
The 10 documented ceramic vessels from the Sipes Hill site include two plain vessels, four utility ware vessels, and four fine ware vessels. All of the vessels are tempered with grog, but two of them (2017'o) have either burned bone or crushed hematite added to the paste.
