The Edwards Archaeological Site is an archaeological site in Beckham County, Oklahoma, near the town of Carter. The site, which was inhabited circa 1600 A.D., served as a Native American village and included dwellings surrounded by a round fortification. Large amounts of waste material, such as tools and bones, have been collected from the site, indicating prolonged inhabitation by a large tribe.[2] Pottery fragments and obsidian and turquoise artifacts found at the site suggest that its inhabitants traded with Puebloan peoples.[3]
The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 19, 1973.[1]
