Item An archaeological survey of the Radium Springs area, southern New Mexico(Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, 1977) Black, Stephen L.; Gunn, Joel D.; Hester, Thomas R.; Ivey, James E.; Katz, Paul R.; Kelly, Thomas C.; Roemer, ErwinDuring October and November 1976, the Center for Archaeological Research of The University of Texas at San Antonio carried out an archaeological survey of the Radium Springs area in southern New Mexico (Fig. 1). This survey was conducted under the terms of a contract (YA-5l2-RFP6-80) between the Center and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Dr. Thomas R. Hester, Director of the Center, was Project Administrator, and Dr. Joel D. Gunn and Dr. Paul R. Katz served as Principal Investigators. Fieldwork was under the supervision of Dr. Gunn, with direct field responsibilities handled by Col. Thomas C. Kelly, Research Associate of the Center. Contract Officer for the BLM was Richard Meninger (Denver), and the Contract Officer's Authorized Representative was Karen L. Way (Las Cruces). The Radium Springs survey was initiated because the BLM desired information on the cultural resources of the region for inclusion in the "Radium Springs Geothermal Leasing Environmental Analysis Record." Thus, the survey was designed to provide an assessment of cultural resources within selected areas owned by the government. A major objective of the fieldwork was to provide the BLM with a statistically valid estimate of cultural resource densities within various environmental zones in the project area. The Center prepared, and submitted for BLM approval, a technical proposal outlining the goals of the archaeological survey (this was sent to Mr. Meninger on September 15, 1976). The research and sampling design outlined in that pro-posal (see Section II of this report) followed closely the specifications set forth in Section F of YA-5l2-RFP6-80, pages 22-25. In general, the specifications called for an intensive survey of a minimum of 32 square-mile sections of land controlled by the BLM. The sample units were to be drawn by a stratified random sampling procedure, designed at a 10% level, with regional applicability in southern New Mexico. In addition, a thorough literature review was also required. Specific field survey requirements were set forth by the BLM, and a set of criteria was provided for the documentation of sites.Item An historical and archaeological assessment of the proposed San Antonio Botanical Center(Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, 1976) Black, Stephen L.During late July and early August, 1976, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio conducted an archaeological and historical assessment of the proposed San Antonio Botanical Center. The project was authorized by the City of San Antonio Department of Parks and Recreation, Ronald Darner, Director. The archaeological and historical investigations at the proposed Botanical Center were carried out under the terms of Permit for Archaeological Investigation, No. 122, issued by the Texas Antiquities Committee.Item Archaeological survey and testing at the City of Live Oak Park, Bexar County, Texas(Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, 1977) Roemer, Erwin; Black, Stephen L.On June 15, 1977, an archaeological survey was made of a 70-acre park at Live Oak, Texas. During the survey, a prehistoric site (41 BX 435) was found and recorded. Recommendations were made for testing the site to evaluate its importance and possible eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. On June 17 and 18, limited testing of the site was conducted. The results of the survey and subsequent test excavations are presented here. The archaeological work at the park was done under a contract between the City of Live Oak (Mr. Ronald Dunlap, City Manager) and the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio. The original survey was conducted by Stephen L. Black, and the subsequent testing was done by Erwin Roemer, Jr., Augustine Frkuska and Elizabeth Frkuska. Field work was done under the supervision of Dr. Thomas R. Hester, Director of the Center, and Jack D. Eaton, Assistant Director.Item Archaeology in the South Texas Sand Sheet: A study of Chevron properties in Brooks county(Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, 1984) McGraw, A. JoachimIn the summer of 1982, archaeologists from the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, conducted an intensive survey of 4000 acres leased to the Chevron Resources Company in southwestern Brooks County, Texas. Twenty-seven archaeological sites were identified. Four prehistoric sites and two historic sites are recommended for further work in order to determine their potential for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
