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. Pottery fragments and obsidian and turquoise artifacts found at the site suggest that its inhabitants traded with Puebloan peoples.
The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 19, 1973.
