A Proposed Nomenclature for Oklahoma Archaeology

Extract

During the past few years, two attempts at usable methods of classification of archaeological cultures have been made. One is by Harold S. Gladwin, of Gila Pueblo, Globe, Arizona; the other was worked out by a group of students at the instigation of W. C. McKern, Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The present paper does not propose a different form of classification, but is a suggestion for applying the McKern system to local (Oklahoma) conditions.
