Pedestrian Survey of 4,250 Acres at Camp Bullis Military Installation, Bexar County, Texas

Author(s): Peter Pagoulatos

Year: 2006

Summary

The Camp Bullis Cultural Resource Office conducted archaeological investigations at the Camp Bullis military installation from December 2003 to April 2006. The investigation consisted of a pedestrian survey of 4,250 acres (1,714 hectares) in the impact area (Maneuver Area 9), assessments of previously-recorded sites in Training Areas 2D, 3B, 4C, 8B, 9 and 10, and National Register test excavations of 11 prehistoric sites. The survey of the impact area resulted in the documentation of 21 newly-discovered archaeological sites; 16 previously-recorded archaeological sites were also revisited, and information on these sites was updated or modified. In all, 48 sites were evaluated as part of this investigation.

Of the 48 investigated archaeological sites, all but 10 were considered ineligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Sites 41BX423 and 41BX1642 could not be properly evaluated due to Army training restrictions in the impact area, while 41BX1468, 41BX1470 and 41BX1471 contain human remains of possible Native American affiliation; these five sites are considered potentially eligible to the NRHP. While National Register tested sites contained multiple temporal components, over half of these sites had deposits which were compressed and mixed with multiple occupations, bioturbation, and very slow rates of sedimentation; six of the eleven sites were considered ineligible to the NRHP. Conversely, five sites (41BX420, 41BX428, 41BX430, 41BX918, 41BX1029) were considered eligible to the NRHP under Criterion D.
