Geography
Country: United States
State: Texas
County: Wood
Coordinate: 33° 48' N, 95° 27' W
Latlng basis: based on nearby landmark
Time interval: Holocene
Ma: 0.00048
Age basis: radiocarbon (uncalibrated)
Geography comments: on "the Lake Fork Creek floodplain"
apparently southeast of what is now the Lake Fork Reservoir in Wood County, near Quitman (basis of coordinate)
there is one "radiocarbon date of A.D. 1470 +/- 80" and the site is "Late Caddoan" (presumed to be uncalibrated because the error is symmetrically distributed)
