These periods are further divided into geographically specific
phases. Plains Village cultures in southern
Colorado and
Kansas, northern
New Mexico, northwestern
Texas, and western
Oklahoma are called the
Southern Plains villagers. This group includes the
Redbud Plains variant of the
Paoli phase (800–1250), and
Washita River phase.
Custer phase, and
Turkey Creek phase of western Oklahoma. The
Henrietta and
Wylie Creek focuses are located in north-central Texas. • The
Upper Canark variant in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles includes the
Antelope Creek phase, and the
Buried City and
Zimms complexes. • The
Apishapa phase is in southeastern Colorado. • The Bluff Creek, Wilmore, and Pratt complexes are in south central Kansas. A group of protohistoric
Wichita people villages in central Kansas are called the
Great Bend aspect. The
Wheeler phase dates from 1450 to 1700 CE, which comprised the
Edwards complex of southwest Oklahoma (1500–1650) and the
Wheeler complex (1650–1725). Wheeler phase
archaeological sites include the
Edwards I site (
34BK2),
Taylor site (
34GR8),
Little Deer site (
34CU10),
Duncan site (
34WA2), and
Goodwin-Baker site (
34RM14),
Parade Ground site (
34CM322) all in western Oklahoma, and additional sites in northern Texas. The
Garza Complex of the Texas Panhandle-Plains likely spans 1450 to 1700 as well. Thousands of Central Plains Village tradition sites have been discovered in Nebraska. One of the most significant is the
Patterson site, a village == See also ==
