A Cultural Resources Survey of the Site of the Proposed Henderson Land Company Section 4 Commercial Site in Central Walker, Texas

Abstract

Brazos Valley Research Associates (BVRA) conducted a cultural resources survey of a 22 acre tract in the city limits of Huntsville, Texas in April of 2002 at the site of a proposed subdivision on private property to be leased by the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC). This work was performed under the supervision of William E. Moore and was sponsored by the engineering firm Gerald B. Harris, Jr. and Associates, Inc. of Huntsville, Texas. Shovel testing and surface inspection of disturbed areas did not reveal evidence of a prehistoric site. Courthouse research conducted as part of a separate environmental assessment indicated that no standing structures were ever present in the project area. Therefore, it is recommended that construction be allowed to proceed as planned.
