Bosque County, Texas, has a rich history as the most successful Norwegian settlement in the state, attracting immigrants throughout the latter half of the 19th century. Ole Finstad was no exception to this Texas fever; immigrating in 1871 at the age of 51, he acquired 160 acres in Bosque County, built a rock house, and spent his days farming and raising cattle. His descendants continued this tradition for the next 84 years, and the ruins of the original rock house still stand today. This paper...

Utilizing data derived from the 1974 transect survey to refine field and analysis procedures, a series of 52 quadrats were surveyed as a part of this phase. In all 46 sites that were located, sites shed considerable light on the locations, differences, and similarities in prehistoric, protohistoric, and historic land-use...

Archaeological and Historical Investigations of Joe Pool Lake, North Central Texas (1988)
The field of archaeology addresses the full record of human history before writing was invented. Native Americans have lived in Texas for over 12,000 years. Without archaeological studies, the record of many of these early peoples can not be recognized. At the same time, archaeology is able to provide historians with additional details of our recent past, and useful insights into past settlements. As a discipline, archaeology is very young in comparison to other fields such as astronomy,...
An Archaeological and Historical Report on Jackson Blue Springs and Merritt's Millpond, Jackson County, Florida (2002)
What Blue Springs County Park lacks in size, it makes up for in cultural resources, both in terms of density and variety. For example, three archaeological sites were recorded within the park at the time of state acquisition.

Consequently, much work still needs to be done to get a better and clearer understanding of the...
