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.

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 Assessment of the Bear Creek Shelter, Lake Whitney, Texas (1978)
The Bear Creek Shelter (41HI17) was recorded and tested by the River Basin Surveys in 1947. At that time, the site was judged to be shallow and insignificant. Enlargement of Lake Whitney in 1975 subjected the site to wave action, which resulted in the exposure of numerous artifacts through erosion of the deposit. This was noticed and reported by members of the Texas Archaeological Society. Testing in 1976 and 1978 by the Archaeology Research Program of Southern Methodist University revealed a...
