An Initial Archaeological Assessment of John James Park, City of San Antonio, Texas

Summary

In January, 1977, the City of San Antonio Department of Parks and Recreation (Ronald L. Darner, Director) and the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio (Thomas R. Hester, Director), entered into a contract for the archaeological assessment of John James Park. The park property is located just north of Fort Sam Houston, and the eastern boundary fronts on Salado Creek, a major tributary of the San Antonio River.

The field survey was carried out under the general supervision of Dr. Thomas R. Hester and Mr. Jack D. Eaton. The goal of this initial survey was to provide as assessment of archaeological or historical resources that might be present within the confines of the park, and, if such resources were found, to record and evaluate them.
