The Cedar Creek District, also known as the Cedar Creek Locality Archaeological Site, is a Pleistocene archaeological site near Carnegie, Washita County, Oklahoma. The site was inhabited by early humans during the late Pleistocene; these humans used stone tools to hunt herd animals in the area. Artifacts recovered from the site include projectile points, a mammoth skeleton, and fireplace lenses. At the time of its discovery, it was the sole known Pleistocene habitation site in the eastern Great Plains.[2]
