An Archaeological Survey of the Frontline Geoservices' Manning 3-D Seismic Survey in the Angelina National Forest Angelina County, Texas

Abstract

An archaeological survey was performed in compartments 44 and 48 of the Angelina National Forest by archaeologists representing Brazos Valley Research Associates (BVRA) and Dixie Environmental Services Company, LP. (DESCO) in June of 2008 under an Archaeological Resource Protection Act (ARPA) permit. Two separate areas totaling 1,369.6 acres were examined. The areas were investigated through a visual inspection accompanied by shovel testing at source points and along access routes. One area containing trash that had been dumped along an abandoned logging road was observed. This area is referred to in this report as Locality 1. The trash scatter is not considered to be significant. Therefore, it is recommended that the seismic survey be allowed to proceed as planned. Copies of the final report are on file at the Texas Historical Commission (THC), the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL), the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas, DESCO, and BVRA. The project notes and other records have been placed in permanent curation at the Supervisors Office of the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas.
