William Lescaze And Hart Crane: A Bridge Between Architecture And Poetry, Lindsay Stamm Shapiro Apr 1984

William Lescaze And Hart Crane: A Bridge Between Architecture And Poetry, Lindsay Stamm Shapiro

The Courier

This article expounds upon the unique relationship between the architect William Lescaze and poet Hart Crane after Lescaze's emigration to the United States during the early twentieth century. Lescaze's knowledge of European modernism influenced Crane's poems, which sought to counteract the pessimism of modern poets (for example T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland"), and provide affirmation of the Machine Age.

Architecture And Community Variability Within The Antelope Creek Phase Of The Texas Panhandle, Christropher Ray Lintz Jan 1984

Architecture And Community Variability Within The Antelope Creek Phase Of The Texas Panhandle, Christropher Ray Lintz

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

This study is concerned with examining the causes underlying cultural variation. The rationale for examining cultural variation is to elucidate the adaptive relationship of the cultural system within its natural and social environmental contexts. Changes in the environment will engender fundamental modifications of the entire cultural system, which in preindustrial semi-sedentary cultures will be manifested by alterations in architectural, community and settlement patterns, along with other tangible aspects of the cultural system. The study focuses on delineating cultural variability of the Antelope Creek phase, a late prehistoric village manifestation on the Southern High Plains of North America. Architectural remains from …

In November and December 1983, archeological and historical research was carried out at site 41TT310 in the proposed Lake Bob Sandlin State Park, Titus County, Texas. The project was sponsored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and was prompted by the need to assess the significance of site 41TT310 to aid in planning park development. The fieldwork entailed excavating 21 l -by-1-m test pits to define the site limits and to gather data on site content. The historical research involved a literature and archival search and informant interviews to try to determine the location of a Republic of Texas-era …

During August to October 30, 1983, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, carried out archaeological assessments in south Bexar County for the San Antonio 201 Wastewater Facilities Improvements Project. These consisted of pedestrian surveys of five pipeline routes and subsurface testing at site 41 BX 333. No significant cultural resources were found within the pipeline easements or at 41 BX 333. However, four prehistoric sites and one probable historic site were recorded in the vicinity of the pipeline route, but they were well outside of the easement. None appear to meet the eligibility criteria …

The two archaeological sites are described as lithic scatters which are eroded and otherwise disturbed by land modifications. The sites are not considered to be potentially significant cultural resources, and therefore not deemed eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. We recommend that no further work is …

Archaeological Testing Of Proposed Sewer Line Location At Mission San Jose, David Hafernik, Anne A. Fox

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In April 1984 archaeologists from the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, excavated a backhoe trench outside the west wall of Mission San José. The purpose of the investigation was to determine if a proposed sewer line for the San Antonio 201 Wastewater Facilities Improvements Project would affect any major historic or prehistoric resources. A stone-lined well was found that was constructed sometime after the secularization of the mission in 1893 and continued in use, first as a well and later as a privy pit, until ca. 1940. Because of the likelihood of stratified deposits …

A Report Of Testing At Archaeological Sites 41fy421, 41fy422, 41fy424 In Fayette County, Texas, Glenn T. Goode Jan 1984

A Report Of Testing At Archaeological Sites 41fy421, 41fy422, 41fy424 In Fayette County, Texas, Glenn T. Goode

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Sites 41FY421, 41FY422, and 41FY424 are upland aboriginal sites situated on divides separating Robinson, Cedar, and Bartons Creeks in northwest Fayette County. These sites are characterized by generally shallow, un-stratified sandy deposits. The cultural inventory is limited to stone materials--primarily thermally altered chert and quartzite and lithic debitage. Diagnostic cultural indicators are relatively scarce, with a large majority of these being less than 2000 years in age. One site, 41FY422, produced 25 hearths and related features. Most of these are apparently less than 2000 to 3000 years in age as well.

Revised Research Design For Testing And Mitigation Of Archaeological Resources Along Loop 1: North Extension Of Mopac From Us 183 To Just North Of Parmer Lane, John W. Clark Jr.

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Archaeological sites within the right-of-way of the northward extension of Loop 1 (MoPac Boulevard), from US 183 to just north of Parmer Lane, are concentrated in two areas. One area is along an old road running north-south and lying to the west of the Balcones Research Center, and the other area is the late nineteenth century community of Waters Park.

The project involves the construction of a multilane divided freeway between the cited two termini. During initial reconnaissance in 1974, many sites were located within or near the proposed right-of-way. At that time and subsequently, site survey forms have been …
