摘要：INTRODUCTION
As the pursuit of an understanding of the archaeological record progresses and our discipline matures as a science, some studies have as their focus historicism issues. That is, the history of the site, significant individuals that worked at a particular site, or the reasons for the investigations may be as important as the results of the fieldwork. An example of this historicism in Oklahoma is the Spring Creek site (34ML14) in McClain County. The Spring Creek site did not result in the recovery of vast quantities of material or substantive new knowledge about a segment of Oklahomas prehistory. But, the site does hold a story (or history) about early archaeological research around Norman and of some individuals involved in this work.
