Jim Vint of Desert Archaeology, Inc. provided me with pictures of raw materials from the Tucson Basin and gave me the opportunity to work at Las Capas. The conversations I have had with Jim have helped me formulate my ideas about the Late Archaic and Early Agricultural periods in the Tucson Basin. I also thank my colleagues at the University of Oklahoma, especially Lauren Cleeland and Kristina Wyckoff, who commented on previous drafts of my dissertation. Also, without the support of my friends and family, this dissertation would never have been possible. Finally, I thank Sarah Hamby, whose love and support have been a foundation of my success. You have always been there when I needed you, and I am looking forward to next chapter of our journey together.

The site, located along the Little River, consists of seven mounds arranged in a horseshoe configuration. Archaeological excavations at the site have been limited to a series of posthole tests and three 1-x-1-m units. Between November 2011 and February 2012, the Oklahoma Archeological Survey conducted geophysical survey of the bulk of the site, covering approximately 32,000 m2 with a fiuxgate gradiometer. This study provides important information about Caddo mound construction, settlement, and ceremonialism in southeastern Oklahoma and add to a growing body of literature on prehistoric Caddo community patterns.
