An archaeological survey along a seismic line in Village Creek State Park Hardin County, Texas

Abstract

An Archaeological Survey was conducted along 6600 feet of seismic line with a right-of-way of ten feet for TGS Onshore Geophysical Company by Brazos Valley Research Associates on November 7, 1991. The area examined is located in Village creek State Park in Hardin County about 15 miles north of Beaumont, Texas. The pedestrian survey, accompanied by shovel testing, failed to produce evidence of a prehistoric or historic site within the proposed right-of-way. It is, therefore, recommended that the seismic survey be allowed to proceed, and monitoring by an archaeologist is not considered necessary. All records pertaining to this project are permanently curated at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory in Austin, Texas. The Texas Antiquities Committee served as the regulatory agency for this survey which was carried out under Texas Antiquities Permit Number 1064.
