McLemore Site, located near Colony in Washita County, Oklahoma, is the site of a prehistoric village, dating from AD 1330-1360.[1] It was a Plains Indian settlement during the Washita River phase. Clay figurines from the site suggest widespread tattooing by the residents of this site.[1] Perforated bone pendants, used either in necklaces or ear ornaments, were also found at the site.[4]

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.[3]
