“…This period is often seen as populated by big game hunters, although this idea has recently begun to be challenged (Collins 1995:381). The fact that most lithic materials found at Paleoindian sites are of a non-local origin indicates a highly nomadic cultural pattern (Mahoney et al 2002). With the emphasis on big game hunting, the artifacts seen as typical of the early portion of this period are fluted Clovis and Folsom projectile points.…”

In November of 2002 and March of 2003, a crew from the Center for Archaeological Research at The University of Texas at San Antonio conducted archeological and geoarcheological investigations along Salado Creek in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. The purpose of this fieldwork was to investigate, using shovel testing and backhoe trenching, the impact of the proposed construction of an approximately three-mile-long hike and bike trail along the creek. The work included testing for the presence of the historic Alsbury Family Cemetery and Homestead that may be in close proximity to the trail's right-of-way. Work was performed under contract with HNTB Corporation of San Antonio. This work was conducted under Texas Antiquities Permit No. 2917, with Steve A. Tomka serving as Principal Investigator. Shovel testing and backhoe trenching yielded no significant archeological deposits. No cultural material was collected during the survey. A backhoe trench and shovel tests placed along the trail's path in the vicinity of the cemetery encountered no signs of graves and archival research suggests the cemetery is well outside the trail right-of-way. It is believed that locating the Alsbury Family Cemetery may require pedestrian survey and subsurface investigations that are outside the scope of this project. Finally, it is recommended that the construction of the proposed hike and bike trail proceed as planned since it will not impact intact cultural deposits of significant research potential.

“…During June and July 2001, CAR conducted NRHP test excavations on an additional six sites located in the northern portion of the facility (Mahoney et al 2002). Of these six sites, only one was determined to possess the requisite integrity to warrant NRHP eligibility (Mahoney et al 2002:34).…”

“…That project resulted in four site recommendations for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (Mahoney 2001a). In June and July of 2001, CAR tested six additional sites (Camp Maxey IV; Mahoney et al 2002). The current project involves additional testing of seven previously identified sites (41LR137, 41LR214, 41LR222, 41LR225, 41LR233, 41LR244, and 41LR254).…”

From May to June 2002, the Center for Archaeological Research (CAR), The University of Texas at San Antonio, under contract with Texas Army National Guard (TXARNG), conducted National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and State Archeological Landmark (SAL) eligibility testing at selected sites within the Camp Maxey training facility in north Lamar County, Texas. The purpose of the current investigations was to assess, through excavation of backhoe trenches, shovel tests, and excavation units, the archaeological significance and NRHP and SAL eligibility of seven prehistoric sites (41LR137, 41LR214, 41LR222, 41LR225, 41LR233, 41LR244, and 41LR254) determined potentially eligible during a previous survey effort. This work was performed under Texas Antiquities Permit Number 2809 issued to Dr. Steve A. Tomka, Principal Investigator for the current testing phase of continuing contractual obligations of archaeological investigations at Camp Maxey through TXARNG. All seven sites are considered ineligible for NRHP listing or SAL designation.
