McLemore Site, located near Colony in Washita County, Oklahoma, is the site of a prehistoric village, dating from AD 1330-1360. 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. Perforated bone pendants, used either in necklaces or ear ornaments, were also found at the site.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.
