Author(s): Debra L. Beene; Johnna L. Buysse

Year: 1996

Summary

This report presents the results of a cultural resources survey along 8 miles of previously unsurveyed perimeter fence line, reevaluations of recorded sites along die previously surveyed fence line, and review of 5.8 miles of newly constructed fence line along the perimeter of Camp Bullis in northern Bexar and southern Comal counties; this work was conducted in association with an environmental ssessment (EA) of the proposed construction of perimeter fencing along an approximate 20.3-mile portion of the perimeter boundary at Camp Bullis, Texas. Geo-Marine, Inc., conducted the work under contract with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District.

The 8-mile survey resulted in the identification of three previously unidentified sites and three localities, all of which date to the prehistoric period. In addition, a total of 14 previously identified prehistoric sites was reevaluated as part of the current project. The characteristics of the sites are discussed and treatment recommendations are suggested.

Of the 17 sites evaluated, five are recommended as potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP); further archeological investigations are recommended in order to determine the eligibility of these sites. The remaining 12 sites are recommended as ineligible for inclusion in the NRHP and no further work is rec.ommended.
