In the Texas Panhandle, they came in contact with local Woodland groups (Hughes’s Lake Creek folks) who had learned rectangular house-building techniques from Custer or Washita River people from the east. Out of this mingling of cultures and ideas, Campbell argued, came Antelope Creek, and its ‘Type I’ rectangular houses with walls and foundations made of stone. ”  (https://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/villagers/hank2/  )  The Chaquaqua Plateau lies in southeastern Colorado.  Pre-horse culture, hunter-gatherer with some basic agriculture.  VERY RARE.  No other copies available for sale.
