The Harrell Site, also known as the M.D. Harrell Site, is a Native American archeological site near South Bend in southern Young County, Texas. The site was discovered in 1937 as a result of survey work for the area to be inundated by the Possum Kingdom Lake. The site occupies the first and second terraces above the Brazos River's floodplain. Archeological investigation began in 1938 as a Work Projects Administration and University of Texas Statewide Archeological Survey. The site documents a Plains Indian agricultural village, and was first excavated in 1938-39. The site contains artifacts from the Late Prehistoric period, approximately 1200 AD to 1600 AD, including a variety of chipped stone points and scrapers. Fired earthenware bowls and jars have also been found.
