Some Aspects of Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archaeology in Southern Texas

Author(s): T. C. Hill, Jr.; Thomas R. Hester

Year: 1975

Summary

This paper is concerned with the last several hundred years of the prehistoric period in the southern part of Texas. The earlier human occupation of this region, extending back perhaps 11,000 years, has been summarized elsewhere (Hester 1971a). The Paleo-Indian period is represented by scattered surface finds of Clovis and Folsom projectile points, and by a variety of "Late Paleo-Indian" point styles, such as Plainview, Scottsbluff, Golondrina, Angostura, and Meserve. The following Archaic era is poorly defined, although there are numerous surface sites and an abundance of chipped stone artifacts (cf. Weir 1956; Hester, White and White 1969).

This special report was reprinted in 1977 with slight revisions and updated bibliography.
