An archaeological and historical survey of the Haase, Moy and Wiatrek properties of the Conquista project, Karnes County, Texas

During mid-April 1979, personnel from the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, conducted an archaeological and historical survey of areas proposed for modification in the Conquista Project Continental Oil Company leases of the Haase, May and Wiatrek properties in northern Karnes County, Texas. The purpose of the surface investigation was to make an assessment of any archaeological or historical resources discovered on the properties and to make recommendations regarding such resources. The archaeological survey was conducted under the terms of an agreement between Mr. Morris Merritt of the Conquista Project and the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio. All field work was done under the direction of Dr. Thomas R. Hester, Director and Mr. Jack Eaton, Assistant Director. The survey was conducted by A. Joachim McGraw and William Day, Technical Staff Assistants of the Center. The field crew investigated three separate but adjacent areas, totaling approximately 540 acres. The areas are located about eight kilometers southeast of Gillett, Texas in northern Karnes County (Fig. 1).
