An Archaeological Survey of the City of Lufkin AC Waterline Replacement in Central Angelina County, Texas

Abstract

Brazos Valley Research Associates (BVRA) performed a cultural resources survey of a water line replacement project in central Angelina County, Texas in July 1999. This project was conducted under Texas Antiquities Committee permit number 2210. The project area was investigated by shovel probing and testing. The area investigated consisted of five areas (A-E), a total of 6.8 miles with a right-of-way of 10 feet (8.3 acres). Overall, the area examined was found to be very disturbed through construction associated with the existing water line and other utilities and adjacent residential and commercial development. High probability areas received the most attention, and no archaeological sites were found. It is recommended that construction be allowed to proceed as planned by the City of Lufkin. Copies of the final report are on file at the Division of Archeology, Texas Historical Commission; Texas Archeological Research Laboratory; the City of Lufkin; and BVRA in Bryan, Texas.
