Author(s): Gregg C. Cestaro; Martha Doty Freeman; Marie E. Blake; Ann M. Scott

Year: 2001

Summary

A pedestrian archeological survey covering 3,255 acres (1,317 hectares) was conducted at the Camp Bullis Military Reservation in Bexar and Comal Counties, Texas, during October–December 1999 and April–May 2000, by personnel from Prewitt and Associates, Inc. The investigations resulted in the documentation of 39 new archeological sites consisting of 28 sites with only prehistoric components, 8 sites with only historic components, and 3 sites with both prehistoric and historic components. Twenty-six previously recorded sites were re-recorded and reassessed as well: 17 prehistoric sites, 4 historic sites, and 5 sites with prehistoric and historic components.

Three new historic sites (41BX1355, 41BX1359, and 41BX1394) and one new prehistoric site (the burned rock midden at 41CM242) are considered eligible for National Register listing. In addition, two previously recorded prehistoric sites (the thick deposits at 41BX425 and the burned rock midden at 41BX1044) and two previously recorded historic sites 41BX397 and 41BX1211 are reassessed as eligible. The remaining 35 new sites and 22 previously recorded sites are considered ineligible.
