    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on settlement at the Pine Tree Mound site in Harrison County, Texas at the time of the entry of the Hernando de Soto expedition of 1542. It is believed that the site is specifically mentioned in the voyage accounts as the Nondacao province, a probable origin of the Nadaco (Anadarco) Caddo tribes. The hypothesis hinges on the age of the site as established through radiocarbon testing and artifacts found, researches on the likely route of the entrada, and the presence of historic Caddo sites in its vicinity.
