An archaeological Survey of the Proposed Royal Oil and Gas Corporation Foster Minerals D-1 Well and Access Road in the Sam Houston National Forest, San Jacinto County, Texas

Abstract

An archaeological survey of a proposed well pad site of approximately 2.98 acres and access road (1680 feet) was conducted by Brazos Valley Research Associates on March 5, 1994. This project was conducted for the Royal Oil and Gas Corporation, Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas. The project area is the Foster Minerals D-1 well and access road in the Sam Houston National Forest, San Jacinto County, Texas. This investigation was performed using the pedestrian survey method supported by shovel testing. No evidence of a prehistoric or historic site was found and it is recommended that construction be allowed to proceed as planned. All records and pertaining to this project are presently housed at Brazos Valley Research Associates awaiting permanent curation at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL).
