Prehistoric Life along the Banks of Spring Lake: Results and Analysis of the Southwest Texas State Field Schools (1996–1998) at 41HY165, San Marcos, Hays County, Texas

Abstract

A relatively large number of frog or toad remains were identified from one lot, with a few specimens from three other lots in two AUs. Certainly across AU 3a and AU 4a this represents more than one individual, but may also within AU 4a.

“…This report, together with a finalized account of excavations conducted at nearby 41HY165 in the mid-1990s (Leezer 2013) and archaeological monitoring of the restoration work while it was underway (Leezer et al 2012) serves to mitigate the effect of this restoration project on important cultural resources, including the archaeological record at Spring Lake This report is intended to be nontechnical in nature, thereby making it accessible to the interested public We anticipate that by providing a detailed and well-illustrated summary of Shiner's work and the results of his investigations, an important gap will be filled in terms of how archaeologists as well as the public understand, view, and appreciate this remarkable cultural resource…”
