Archaeological Investigations at the San Gabriel Reservoir Districts, Central Texas. Volume 4.

Abstract

This report presents the results of archaeological investigations conducted by North Texas State University at two Corps of Engineers reservoirs on the San Gabriel River in Central Texas. The archaeology project consisted of site survey, evaluation, and data recovery of endangered cultural resources at Nort Fork and Granger Reservoirs. Eighty new prehistoric and one hundred historic sites were recorded, of which nine prehistoric and thirteen historic sites had further study. Additional research involved the Hoxie Ranch, and evaluations of a Paleo-Indian site (441WM419), and the Cervenka Site (41WM267). The two reservoirs, located in different environmental zones, offered an opportunity to examine varying human adaptations. First, the cultural patterns of the two reservoirs were delineated. Next, the adaptive patterns and artifact assemblages were compared to determine if the two reservoirs were part of the same cultural area. (Author)
