Ethnoarchaeological Investigations of the Mountain Creek Area, North Central Texas. Volume 1. Late Holocene Prehistory of the Mountain Creek Drainage,
Abstract
Volume I contains the summary report of the prehistoric archaeological and paleo-ecological investigations within the Joe Pool Lake Reservoir southwest of Dallas, Texas. Joe Pool Lake was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. The investigations were conducted to mitigate the impact of the proposed construction of the floodwater retarding structure, associated park facilities, and the eventual inundation of the lake area. This volume presents the results of the archaeological investigations of 6 prehistoric sites. The excavation of the sites revealed that the use of the Mountain Creek drainage was never very intensive during the prehistoric period. Excavation revealed primarily Lake Archaic and Late Prehistoric occupations. Keywords: Archeology; Survey/testing; Cultural resources. (edc)
