The '''Crippen Point site''' is the archaeological [[type site]] of the Crippen Point phase(1050 to 1200 C.E.) of the [[Coles Creek culture]] in the Lower [[Mississippi River|Mississippi]] valley in the southern United States. The phase marks a significant change in the cultural history of the area. Population increased dramatically and there is strong evidence of a growing cultural and political complexity by this portion of the Coles Creek sequence. Although many of the classic traits of [[chiefdom]] societies aren't yet manifested, by 1000 C.E. the formation of simple elite polities had begun. sites are found in [[Arkansas]], [[Louisiana]], [[Oklahoma]], [[Mississippi]], and [[Texas]]. After the Crippen Point phase the [[Plaquemine culture]] period begins.
