Abstract

This article concerns two ancestral Caddo sites in San Augustine County on tributaries to Attoyac Bayou in the East Texas Pineywoods: 41SA7 and 41SA13. Both sites were recorded in April and May 1940 by G. E. Arnold of The University of Texas in Austin as part of a larger archaeological survey of East Texas.

Highlights

  • This article concerns two ancestral Caddo sites in San Augustine County on tributaries to Attoyac Bayou in the East Texas Pineywoods (Figure 1): 41SA7 and 41SA13

  • During the span of time the two Caddo sites were occupied, the use of bone temper in vessel manufacture increased from 25 percent to 60 percent, and the use of grog temper in vessel manufacture decreased from 75 percent to only 40 percent at 41SA7

  • Sherd assemblages with high proportions (>40 percent of the sherd assemblage) of bone temper are concentrated in only a few locales across East Texas, most notably in the Toledo Bend Reservoir area along the middle Sabine River and in sites in the Angelina River basin (Perttula 2015:Figure 11)
