Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Site 41CM204, the Headwaters Site, is a serially occupied archaeological site in New Braunfels, Texas. The site is located at the headwaters of the Comal River and was occupied seasonally for approximately 8,000 years, up to and including the historic period. However, the Archaic Period deposits are the most notable, with excavations revealing over 30 identified features, particularly burned rock middens and earth ovens from hot-rock cooking activities. Excavations conducted by AmaTerra Environmental, Inc. at the Headwaters site in 2018-2019 recovered over 100,000 artifacts and samples. This poster presents the results of the 2018-2019 excavations focusing on feature types, artifacts, and preliminary analysis of site components.
