Abstract
The Bonner Place (41AG3) and J. A. Jordan (41AG5) sites are ancestral Caddo habitation sites recorded by Gus E. Arnold in November 1939 during his WPA-sponsored archaeological survey of East Texas. Both sites are in the Crawford Creek drainage; Crawford Creek is a westward-flowing tributary of the Neches River (Figure 1).

A red pigment has been rubbed in the engraved lines and excised areas. Another body sherd in the assemblage has at least three parallel engraved lines, each with diagonal excised tick marks. This particular sherd may be from a Patton Engraved vessel, but Patton Engraved vessels and sherds tend to have triangular-shaped excised tick marks or linear tick marks, not the diagonal excised tick marks seen on the Bonner Place sherd
