Intensive Pedestrian Survey for the Majestic Ranch Apartments, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

In May of 2019, the Center for Archaeological Research (CAR) at The University of Texas at San Antonio conducted an intensive pedestrian survey of the proposed location for the Majestic Ranch Apartments development in northwest San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. The work was conducted in response to a request by Poznecki-Camarillo, Inc. in order to fulfill the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the City of San Antonio’s Unified Development Code. The project was located on private property; therefore, the project did not fall under the Antiquities Code of Texas or require an Antiquities Permit. Dr. Paul Shawn Marceaux served as Principal Investigator, and Sarah Wigley served as Project Archaeologist. CAR surveyed a six-hectare (14.8-acre) project area located at 4862 Callaghan Road and 118 Woodside Drive. No artifacts or cultural features were encountered during shovel testing. The entire project area was found to be disturbed. The CAR recommends that construction proceed as planned. All records generated during this project were curated at the CAR in accordance with Texas Historical Commission guidelines.
