An Archaeological Survey of Suemaur Exploration & Production, LLC's Lafitte's Gold Prospect in Galveston County, Texas
Abstract
An archaeological survey of Suemaur Exploration & Production, LLC’s Lafitte’s Gold Prospect was conducted on February 25, 2008 by BVRA in eastern Galveston County, Texas with negative results. The investigation examined a proposed drill site and tank battery, an area consisting of 4.7 acres. Virtually all of the project area is located in a low marshy setting with no high ground. Therefore no shovel tests were excavated, and no artifacts were collected. It was determined that the project area is in an area of disturbed soils created through the dredging of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Therefore, any sites present would be disturbed. It is recommended that construction be allowed to proceed as planned
