“…Evidence of human occupation of the Yucatan peninsula in the Paleoindian period has been found in the Loltun cave and in Belize, where distinctive Clovis points have been recovered from deposits in Ladyville, that have been dated at 9000 to 7500 BC (Kelly 1993). Since then, the region has been populated by humans without interruption (Fig.…”

“…Diagnostic artifacts include Clovis and Folsom projectile points. The distribution of Clovis-type points across most of North America and even into Central America suggests a wide dispersal of the people who made them (Kelly 1993;Wenke 1990:201). Other artifacts associated with the Clovis culture include bifaces, prismatic blades, engraved stones, bone and ivory points, stone bolas, ochre, and shaft straighteners.…”

In February 1997, the Center for Archaeological Research (CAR) of The University of Texas at San Antonio was contracted by the San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) to conduct an intensive archaeological survey and geomorphological study along a proposed 5 .5-km water main right-of-way, from the junction of ill-3 7 and Loop 1604 to the San Antonio River in southeast Bexar County. Upon completion of a 1 DO-percent pedestrian survey, 10 backhoe trenches, and 152 shovel tests, CAR concluded that no significant cultural remains would be impacted by excavations for the proposed water main, and recommends that no further archaeological work is required prior to construction.

“…Folsom points are somewhat smaller, thinner, and the fluting tends to run almost to the tip (Turner and Hester 1993: 120). The distribution of Clovis points across most of North America and into Central and South America, and the variety of high-grade lithic raw materials used indicate that Clovis groups traveled and traded widely (Kelly 1993;Wenke 1990:201). Other artifacts associated with the Clovis culture include bifaces and prismatic blades, engraved stones, bone and ivory points, stone bolas, ochre, and shaft straighteners.…”

The Center for Archaeological Research of The University of Texas at San Antonio conducted a pedestrian cultural resources survey on 3,860 acres of land at Lackland Air Force Base and Medina Base Annex in Bexar County, Texas. Limited surveys and shovel testing began in the spring of 1994 in areas slated for development. These were followed by a 100-percent-pedestrian survey with limited shovel testing of the remaining undisturbed and undeveloped areas during the fall of 1994 and spring of 1995. Selective paleontological and geomorphological evaluations also were made .. The project recorded 71 archaeological sites. Sixty-four sites had only prehistoric components, four had both historic and prehistoric components, and three had only a historic component. Additionally, two previously recorded prehistoric sites were revisited. Prehistoric site types are open campsites and/or lithic quarries. Diagnostic projectile points and tools indicate this area was used from the Early Archaic through the Late Prehistoric periods. The historic sites were classified as farmsteads dating to the late-nineteenth and earlyto mid-twentieth centuries.Seventy-one of the 73 sites are deemed eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

Sixty-four sites had only prehistoric components, four had both historic and prehistoric components, and three had only a historic component. Additionally, three previously recorded prehistoric sites were revisited. Prehistoric site types are open campsites and/or lithic quarries. Fortunately, some of the prehistoric sites yielded diagnostic projectile points and tools. These indicate human presence in the survey area from the Early Archaic through the Late Prehistoric periods. The historic sites were classified as farmsteads dating to the late-nineteenth and early to mid-twentieth centuries.Seventy-one of the 74 sites are deemed eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
