By: Markman, Charles W., Kreisa, Paul P..

Abstract
Markman and Kreisa excavated at Deere Creek site. The site does not contain ceramics but does have Kramer points which indicate a Marion phase occupation. Lithic materials were the only type of artifact found at this site. Analysis of the assemblage indicates stone tools, wooden items, and leather goods were manufactured at the site. The authors suggest the settlement system for the area consisted of frequent residential moves from one resource patch to another.
