An archaeological survey of the proposed McDade Park area in the city of Conroe, Montgomery County Texas

Abstract

An archaeological survey was conducted at a 19 acre tract in the city limits of Conroe, Texas at the proposed site of McDade Park on August 11, 1987 by Brazos Valley Research Associates. A pedestrian survey, accompanied by shovel testing and profiling of the riverbank, failed to locate evidence of prehistoric or historic sites. It was concluded that this is a low probability area in terms of prehistoric habitation. Historic land use of the area in recent times was probably most likely related to farming or grazing activities. A survey of plants present at the site recorded primarily invader species that grow in disturbed areas.
