On a regional scale, recent investigations have resulted in refined chronological models for the Canyonlands, which include northern Bexar County and the project area (Henderson 2001;Johnson 1991Johnson , 1995Johnson and Goode 1994;Kibler and Scott 2000;Mahoney et al 2003;Nickels et al 2001).…”

“…to A.D. 800 (9000-1200 BP), marks a long time span of hunting and gathering as the main lifestyle (Black and McGraw 1985). A spear tipped with large projectile points and thrust with a throwing stick (atlatl) was the principal hunting weapon for the period.…”

“…Other tools include triangular adze blades (Clear Fork tools), elongated adzes (Guadalupe tools), and notched pebbles (Waco sinkers). Local sites with Early Archaic components include Richard Beene (Thoms et al 1996), Panther Springs Creek Site (Black and McGraw 1985), and 41BX1 in the Olmos basin (Lukowski 1988;Stothert 1989). One of the important characteristics of Early Archaic sites is the first occurrence of burned rock features and the use of limestone in earth oven cooking, sometimes resulting in dense clusters of burned rocks or "proto burned rock middens" (Collins et al 1998).…”

“…) Middle Archaic artifact assemblages show a continuation of the broad hunting and gathering patterns established in the preceding period. Site components of this period occur throughout the Salado Creek and upper San Antonio River watersheds (Black and McGraw 1985;Lukowski 1988;Stothert 1989 (Collins et al 1998;Stothert 1989;Turner and Hester 1999:243).…”

“…Evidence for the change is seen in the replacement of large projectile points by small, delicately shaped arrow points. Late Prehistoric components commonly occur along the Salado Creek and upper San Antonio River drainages (Black and McGraw 1985;Stothert 1989).…”

Abstract:In January of 2003, a crew from the Center for Archaeological Research at The University of Texas at San Antonio conducted an archaeological survey and geoarchaeological investigations at site 41BX1271 in Walker Ranch Park for the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department. This work was done in response to the planned installation of security lights around the existing park trail and a drinking fountain along the southwest portion of the trail system. The archaeological investigations were carried out under Texas Antiquities Permit No. 3023. Three separate field tasks were carried out in order to perform the required assessment: 1) pedestrian survey of the planned installation area; 2) excavation of 41 shovel tests; and 3) excavation of two geoarchaeological test units. This report details the recovery of prehistoric artifacts as well as recent materials within the geological deposits of the park. Discussion of the park soils and geology in relation to artifacts and human occupation is also provided.The archaeological investigations and artifacts recovered indicate a low density of cultural materials and low research potential for the area impacted by the planned modifications. While the lighting and fountain installations will impact the sparse cultural remains, these resources have low interpretive and scientific value and would not contribute significant new knowledge to existing information on Walker Ranch or the prehistory of the region.ii

During 1981 and 1982, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, conducted a cultural resources assessment of ca. 30,000 acres leased to the Carter Mining Company in Uvalde and Zavala Counties, Texas. Known as the East Chacon project, the survey was undertaken to identify and assess the cultural resources of the locality prior to potential modification or destruction due to proposed mining operations. Archaeological and historical sites (149) were identified and recorded that represent a span of human activities from approximately 11,000 B.P. to the Historic period. A detailed description of these site locations, interpretations of their culturalenvironmental contexts, and determinations of potential eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places are presented in this report.
