An archaeological survey for the proposed city of Granbury water treatment plant (Hood County, Texas)

Abstract

An archaeological survey of a one-acre tract in Hood County, Texas was conducted by Brazos Valley Research Associates (BVRA) on June 5, 2015. Prehistoric site 41HD11 had been recorded in the Area of Potential Effect (APE), and the purpose of this project was to confirm its presence and identify site boundaries and site significance if possible. William E. Moore was the Principal Investigator and Jesse Todd was the Project Archaeologist who performed the survey. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) issued Antiquities Permit number 7273 to this project. The area was extensively shovel tested and no cultural materials were found. Previous reports by other archaeologists indicated that the site had been disturbed so much that further work was not recommended. All records will be permanently housed at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL) on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin. Copies of the final report will be submitted to the THC, TARL, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), the city of Granbury (aka City), Enprotec/Hibbs & Todd, and selected libraries across the state.
