Abstract
An archaeological survey of Coulter Field in Brazos County, Texas was conducted by Brazos Valley Research Associates for Walton & Associates, Inc. in January and February of 1989. The tract surveyed was 247.75 acres.
No prehistoric sites were recorded. Due to a lack of permanent water, the project area is believed to be in a low probability zone for prehistoric occupation.
One historic site was recorded with the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory as 41BZ92. This site is the presumed location of a house known to exist from 1914 to 1938 when it was demolished to make way for the construction of Coulter Field. The date of construction of this house and its original owner are not known. The artifact return at this site from shovel testing was minimal and consisted primarily of non-diagnostic pieces of glass, metal, bricks, and ceramics. site 41BZ92 is recommended for further testing to determine if it is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places or as a State Archeological Landmark.
