Site 41TV383, first discovered in 1978 in a cutbank meander of Boggy Creek in Austin, was subjected to limited testing by a team of archaeologists from Coastal Ecosystems Management, Inc. in June 1983. Two spatially separated cultural zones were observed, each representing one or more short term encampments by a small group during late archaic or late prehistoric times, most probably during the Austin phase (650-1350 AD). Activities represented by the site include mussel gathering, hunting, hide processing, and tool manufacture and resharpening, and food preparation around a small untined hearth.
