Data Recovery Excavations at the J. B. White Site (41MM341), Milam County, Texas

Lithic morphological organisation: Gahagan bifaces from the Southern Caddo Area

“…While comparisons and reference to these three assemblages of Gahagan bifaces occur in the gray literature (Denton, 1983;Gadus et al, 2006;McClurkan, 1968;Quigg et al, 2014), these specimens have not previously been aggregated for a comprehensive morphological analysis. Preliminary observa-40 tions point to significant morphological differences between Gahagan bifaces recovered from Mounds Plantation and those found at the Gahagan Mound and George C. Davis sites.…”

Testing and Data Recovery Excavations at 41BU51, Burleson County, Texas

“…The archeology of parts of this area is well understood because archeological investigations involving excavations have been undertaken. Projects that have contributed important information include those conducted at Richland-Chambers Reservoir in Freestone and Navarro Counties (Bruseth and Martin 1987;McGregor and Bruseth 1987); Lake Limestone in Leon, Limestone, and Robertson Counties (Mallouf 1979); Jewett Mine in Freestone and Leon Counties (Day 1984;Fields 1987Fields , 1990Fields and Klement 1995;Fields et al 1991;Gadus et al 2002); Calvert Mine in Robertson County (Davis et al 1987;Robinson and Turpin 1993); Sandow Mine in Lee and Milam Counties (Ricklis 2001;Rogers 1997Rogers , 1999Rogers and Kotter 1995); Gibbons Creek Mine in Grimes County (Rogers 1993(Rogers , 1994(Rogers , 1995; Somerville Lake in Burleson, Lee, and Washington Counties (Peterson 1965;Thoms and Ahr 1996); Cummins Creek Mine in Fayette County (Kotter et al 1991); Fayette Power Plant in Fayette County (Skelton 1977 (Bement et al 1989;Ensor and Mueller-Wille 1988;Fullem 1977;Gadus et al 2006;Kalter et al 2005;Mahoney et al 2003;Roemer and Carlson 1987); and miscellaneous excavations such as those at the Winnie's Mound and Frisch Auf! sites (Bowman 1985;Hester and Collins 1969).…”

“…To the east, two sites along the Brazos River-Winnie's Mound and 41BU16-have significant Late Archaic components (Bowman 1985;Roemer and Carlson 1987 (Gadus et al 2006;Mahoney et al 2003). This site, which was occupied from about 1400 to 400 B.C., contained numerous hearth features represented by both burned rock clusters and charcoal and burned clay concentrations.…”

“…Moving southwestward across the Brazos River, 41MM341 on the Little River has a significant early Late Prehistoric component dating mostly from A.D. 800 or 900 to 1300 (Gadus et al 2006). This site contains numerous surface hearths, pit hearths, processing pits, shell lenses, burned rock concentrations, possible postholes, and lithic reduction debris piles.…”

Archeological Testing and Data Recovery at 41ZV202, Zavala County, Texas

“…We focused on the components identified previously in Table 9-6 that have assemblages housed at CAR. Treating the two Initial Late Prehistoric components at 41MM341 (see Gadus et al 2006) as separate analytical units, this resulted in our review of 21 components on 10 different sites (Figure 10-2).…”
