dc.description.abstractIn November 1978, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, contracted with Farco Mining Company of Ft. Smith, Arkansas to perform an archaeological reconnaissance of its Palafox mining area in northwest Webb County, Texas. Since mineral rights to the mining area are owned by the State of Texas, an archaeological survey was required as part of the preparation of an environmental impact statement. The survey zone was divided into two sections where there was the possibility of future mining activity: (1) the Farco Mining Operations Area and Disturbed Area, and (2) parts of the Palafox Historic District. The project was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Thomas R. Hester, Director, and Jack D. Eaton, Assistant Director, Center for Archaeological Research. The field work was conducted by Thomas C. Kelly and D. William Day.
