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

Site 4.1FY509 was originally tested by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) archaeologists in April 1991. Based on the findings of the initial testing, the site was determined ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Because cultural deposits were discovered during construction, additional archaeological investigations were conducted by TxDOT archaeologists on the eastern portions of 41FY509, Plum, Fayette County, Texas. The recent investigations were conducted in the right-of-way of Highway 71 between centerline stations 395+00 and 390+00 of the Plum Bypass. These investigations were conducted between June 3 and July 5, 1993, and consisted of mechanical trenching, removal …

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

Archaeological test excavations were performed by a crew from the Bryan District under the direction of John W. Clark, Jr., assisted by William Weaver, at the historical archaeological site 41 BZ89 on the 12th of October 1992 and on the 10th of March, 1993. The excavations revealed a highly predictable horizontal distribution of artifacts over the site conforming to the Brunswick artifact pattern (South 1977: 47-80). They indicate an occupation apparently beginning in the late 1880s and extending into the 1950s (the 1950s occupation may represent reuse by hunters or a campsite for stock handlers). There could be a mid …

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

The planned extension of FM 1042 in Live Oak County includes a crossing at the Nueces River. Phase II archaeological testing of two sites (41LK284 and 41LK294) on the north and south terraces of the Nueces River was undertaken by TxDOT archaeologists, prior to construction, to determine eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places(in accordance with 36 CFR Part 800) and State Landmark status. Portions of both sites are located within the right-of-way. Surveys conducted in 1988 and 1992 recorded a light scatter of mussel shell and chert flakes on the surface of both sites. Cultural debris …

Archaeological Investigations At Site 41wd468/41wd469 Along Sh182 At Lake Fork Creek, Wood County, Texas, Alan J. Wormser, Stephanie S. Strickland

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

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will replace two bridges on SH182; one at Lake Fork Creek and another at an unnamed tributary just west of Lake Fork Creek. Archaeological Site 4 1 WD468 occurs between the two streams. Previous researchers designated two site numbers (41WD468 and 41 WD469) for different portions of the site. The TxDOT investigations revealed no separation between the two areas, so the entire site is now designated under a single site number. The northeast part of the site (Area A) has shallow, disturbed deposits dating to the Late Archaic period. The southwest portion of the …

Excavation Of A Portion Of The San Pedro Acequia (41bx337) Via Metropolitan Transit System Parking Lot, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, I. Waynne Cox

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

In October of 1986, representatives of the VIA Metropolitan Transit System contacted the Center for Archaeological Research prior to construction on their bus parking lot that occupies the area above a section of the historic San Pedro Acequia. It was decided at that time that limited testing to define and locate the extent of the acequia remaining and determine if monitoring of further operations should be conducted. The excavations were accomplished in December of 1986 and a profile of the acequia recorded. At that time monitoring was delayed until the anticipated relocation of a fuel storage tank was to be …

Archaeological Testing And Monitoring In Connection With A Drainage Project At Mission San Juan Capistrano San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, Anne A. Fox

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

The purpose of this project was to obtain information to guide planning to alleviate drainage problems within the compound of the mission. Four separate areas were tested. Of these, only one uncovered structural remains that might be impacted by the drainage swales planned to carry rain water through the east and south walls and away from the standing structures. At that location, careful measurement of comparative elevations of ground and top of wall revealed that the planned drainage would be possible without damage to the wall. Subsequent drainage work was monitored by the archaeologists to be sure that no other …
