DOWNLOAD EBOOKPaleoindians first arrived in Texas more than eleven thousand years ago, although relatively few sites of such early peoples have been discovered. Texas has a substantial post-Paleoindian record, however, and there are more than fifty thousand prehistoric archaeological sites identified across the state. This comprehensive volume explores in detail the varied experience of native peoples who lived on this land in prehistoric times. Chapters on each of the regions offer cutting-edge research, the culmination of years of work by dozens of the most knowledgeable experts. Based on the archaeological record, the discussion of the earliest inhabitants includes a reclassification of all known Paleoindian projectile point types and establishes a chronology for the various occupations. The archaeological data from across the state of Texas also allow authors to trace technological changes over time, the development of intensive fishing and shellfish collecting, funerary customs and the belief systems they represented, long-term changes in settlement mobility and character, landscape use, and the eventual development of agricultural societies. The studies bring the prehistory of Texas Indians all the way up through the Late Prehistoric period (ca. a.d. 700–1600). The extensively illustrated chapters are broadly cultural-historical in nature but stay strongly focused on important current research problems. Taken together, they present careful and exhaustive considerations of the full archaeological (and paleoenvironmental) record of Texas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring August and September 1997, archaeological test excavations were conducted on LA 107247, a prehistoric site located within the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Complex west of El Paso, Texas. Testing was designed to evaluate the site's eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and included manual excavation of 86 test units (1x1m), as well as nearly 600 linear meters of backhoe trenches. Three stain features were excavated, two of these represented relatively intact hearth remnants. Eighty-one artifacts were collected from the surface and 43 from excavations. The site is now recommended as ineligible for the NRHP, since the potential to yield important information has now been exhausted.
