SISTER GROVE CREEK SITE NW of Farmersville National Register of Historic Places SISTER GROVE CREEK SITE This Indian site seems to be a large base camp, consisting of about 10 acres, occupied between A. D. 900-1600. A large Wylie Focus Pit was situated at the site, 24 meters in length, 18 meters in width and reaching a maximum depth of 4 meters. Excavation inside the structure revealed a number of small hearths and a flexed burial with a large dart point as a grave offering. The occupants of the site appear to have relied heavily upon deer, tortoise, small mammals and fresh-water mollusks for subsistence.
