An Archaeological Survey of the Proposed Famcor Oil, Inc. Well Pads, Access Road, Pipeline Routes, Electrical Line, and Telephone Line in the Sam Houston National Forest, South-Central San Jacinto County, Texas
Abstract
An archaeological survey of five proposed well pads (each 300 x 300 feet in size), 6945 feet of pipeline, 1220 feet of electrical line, 4520 feet of telephone line, and 930 feet of access road was conducted by Brazos Valley Research Associates on November 9 and 10, 1996. This project was conducted for Famcor Oil, Inc. of Houston, Texas. The project area is located in the Sam Houston National Forest, south-central San Jacinto County, Texas. This investigation was performed using the pedestrian survey method supported by shovel testing and probing. No prehistoric or historic sites were found. Significant portions of the area examined were previously disturbed such as existing well pads and portions of the lines followed existing roads and ditches. It is recommended that construction be allowed to proceed, as planned, and monitoring during construction by an archaeologist is not considered necessary.
