Item Archaeological Monitoring of Utilities Installation at Borglum Studio, Brackenridge Park, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas(Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, 2013) Dickey, Cynthia M.; Ulrich, Kristi M.; Thompson, Jennifer L.The Center for Archaeological Research was contracted by the Municipal Golf Association San Antonio-Brackenridge Golf Course to monitor trenching for the installation of waterlines connecting to Borglum Studio in Brackenridge Park in the vicinity of the golf course clubhouse. Borglum Studio is listed as a historic building on the Texas Archaeological Site Atlas and is a contributing resource to Brackenridge Park, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The excavation of two trenches was monitored over several days for the presence of potential cultural materials and features. Trench excavations revealed substantial subsurface disturbances resulting from prior construction activities. No intact soils were noted during the trenching, and no features were identified. No artifacts were collected during the project and all records, including field notes, digital photographs, photo logs, maps, and plan-view drawings, pertaining to monitoring were prepared for curation and are permanently stored at the Center for Archaeological Research facility.Item Construction Monitoring of the Theo Avenue Realignment Project, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas(Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, 2012) Dickey, Cynthia M.; Ulrich, Kristi M.From January through April 2011, the Center for Archaeological Research (CAR) of The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) conducted construction monitoring associated with the realignment of a segment of Theo Avenue between the San Antonio River and Mission Road. The construction monitoring occurred under contract with the San Antonio River Authority (SARA). The ground-disturbing activities included new roadway surface grading, drainage pipe installations, tree removal and relocation, baseball field demolition, and pier drilling for the Mission Concepciόn Portal. Construction monitoring took place under Texas Antiquities Committee Permit No. 5845. No prehistoric or historic cultural materials were identified during the monitoring activities, which followed an intensive pedestrian archaeological survey of the project area under a separate permit. All project-generated documentation is permanently curated at the CAR facility.
