| Summary: | In the Spring of 1988, historical, geoarcheological, and archeological investigations were conducted in selected areas within Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis, Bexar County, Texas. These investigations were designed to identify localities that contain deep, intact deposits with the potential to contain prehistoric cultural resources. The purpose was to determine the feasibility of conducting a buried site reconnaissance using a backhoe. The data gathered for Fort Sam Houston during the historical and geoarcheological document review was field verified. The results indicate that thick, fine-grained deposits containing Holocene alluvium are rare. Thinner (less than 60 em) deposits that potentially contain cultural materials are present, but buried sites will be difficult to detect due to the sparse density of materials expected in prehistoric sites in the immediate vicinity. The Camp Bullis investigations included a brief archeological survey along Salado Creek. Nine prehistoric sites, one of which was ... |
