- CONSERVATION ARCHAEOLOGY
-
-
-_Archaeology_[1] has a number of popular stereotypes usually involving
-expeditions to remote parts of the Earth in search of ancient tombs,
-lost cities or long-extinct races of Man. The _archaeologist_ is seen
-working a “dig” for years, looking for bits of bone or stone of little
-importance to anyone but other scientists.
-
-In reality, however, archaeology departs from this picture considerably.
-Many modern archaeologists work in their own communities on projects
-that include things familiar to most of us. The scope of their studies
-may range from 10,000 year old American Indian _sites_ to early
-twentieth century farms. Excavations are carried out with the aid of
-tools, including small dental instruments, large earth-moving machines,
-and electronic computers. Often, archaeologists do not dig at all, but
-gather information from maps, photographs, written histories, and living
-informants. In fact, more time by far is spent working on _artifacts_ in
-a laboratory, and especially in writing reports of excavations, than is
-spent in the field. Even more surprising, many archaeologists today work
-in cooperation with private and governmental agencies to protect
-archaeological remains, as required by state and federal laws. A
-specialized field of archaeology, called _public_ or _conservation
-archaeology_, has come into existence in the last twenty years to meet
-this need.
-
-The archaeological studies in the Richland Creek Reservoir area are a
-good example of conservation archaeology in action. This report explains
-what the Richland Creek Archaeological Project (RCAP) is, how it works,
-and what it has accomplished thus far. Above all, the report tries to
-show why conservation of our archaeological heritage is important to us
-all, and to future generations.
-
-A series of archaeological studies are planned for the Richland-Chambers
-Dam and Reservoir area near Corsicana, Texas (Figure 1). The first phase
-of those studies was carried out during 1980-81. The Tarrant County
-Water Control and Improvement District Number 1, developer of the
-Reservoir, employed Southern Methodist University[2] to conduct
-archaeological studies. Like other construction projects requiring state
-and federal permits, the Reservoir cannot be completed unless state and
-federal laws pertaining to archaeological and historical sites are
-adhered to. Since 1906, several federal and state laws have been enacted
-to protect important archaeological sites. Particularly during the last
-two decades, these laws have defined archaeological remains as an
-important cultural resource that should be conserved for future
-generations.
-
-In recent decades legislators and the public have come to realize that
-the expansion of our urban-industrial society is rapidly destroying the
-_archaeological resources_ of the country. In many regions of the United
-States this destruction has reached crisis proportions. Experts point
-out that within another generation, given current rates of resource
-destruction from industry, agriculture, and other land-modification
-projects, intact archaeological resources will virtually cease to exist
-within large areas of the nation.
-
-Archaeological resources are fragile and nonrenewable. Much of the
-scientific value of archaeological resources is lost if they cannot be
-studied in an undisturbed _context_. Objects excavated from a site have
-little meaning unless they can be related to specific soil layers
-(_stratigraphy_) and other evidence of former activities of people, such
-as hearths, trash deposits, house remains and other _features_. Any
-activity that disturbs the soil may destroy this context.

-The primary objective of archaeologists working in _cultural resource
-management_ is _archaeological conservation_. As in the case of other
-non-renewable natural resources, the emphasis is on resource
-preservation. In the case of archaeological sites, that means digging as
-a last resort. The first priority of the conservation archaeologist is
-to preserve in an intact state a reasonable number of archaeological
-sites for future generations of scientists and the public. Sometimes
-sites can be preserved by selecting a construction design which avoids
-them. In other instances adverse impact is unavoidable—a case in which
-excavations are carried out to recover scientific information contained
-in the sites prior to their destruction. Recovery of this information is
-one way of conserving the resource. Preservation through _data recovery_
-will be required in the Reservoir, and will be the focus of work in
-years to come.
-
-
- ARCHAEOLOGISTS AT WORK
-
-One way of understanding the RCAP is to look at how archaeologists work.
-People frequently ask what is an archaeological site? How do you find
-sites? How do you excavate and what do you look for? What do you do with
-the things that you collect?
-
-During 1980-81, an _archaeological survey_ (Figure 2) was completed in
-the project area. During the survey, an effort was made to develop the
-most complete inventory possible of _prehistoric_ and _historic_ sites.
-Sites were recorded by examining the entire project area on foot,
-consulting landowners, amateur archaeologists, written records, museum
-collections, aerial photographs, and other sources of information. No
-survey could guarantee discovery of every archaeological site, but every
-effort was made to construct a representative picture of the
-archaeological resources in the project. Next, limited-scale excavations
-(_testing_) were conducted on a sample of sites that were thought to
-contain information best suited to answering specific scientific
-questions. Once more, the intent was not to dig every site, but to
-understand a representative sample of archaeological resources within
-the project.
-
-Archaeologists find sites by a variety of means. Naturally, how one
-defines an archaeological site has an important bearing on what is
-considered as representative. In the Reservoir, a site was defined as
-any evidence of past human occupation, predating 1930. The 1930 cut-off
-date reflects a legal definition of sites in the National Register of
-Historic places, a federal office that records important historical and
-archaeological properties. To be eligible for inclusion in the Register,
-a site must generally be at least 50 years old, and must meet a number
-of other criteria. Applying this definition to archaeological sites,
-they may be as different as isolated pieces of prehistoric stone tools
-and an early twentieth century farm house. Why such concern for these
-seemingly isolated tools or for dwellings that are so recent? One of the
-things that archaeologists have learned is that sometimes bits of
-information that are incomprehensible taken one at a time form
-meaningful patterns when many pieces are put together.
-
-For example, it has been learned that when isolated _projectile points_
-dropped by prehistoric hunters are plotted on a map, their distribution
-may correlate with patterns of vegetation or topography, giving clues
-about the kinds of animals that they were hunting and the size of their
-hunting territories. More recent things, such as old farm houses, are
-worth recording because, as we discuss later, they represent the
-remnants of a way of life that is largely gone from rural Texas. In
-another generation these buildings, so familiar as to escape notice by
-most of us, will be gone for the most part, victims of decay, vandalism,
-and land modification. To future generations, these “artifacts” will be
-of as much interest as nineteenth century houses are to us today. There
-is a danger that what is so common to us will fail to be recorded.
-Contrary to what many suppose, the rather common aspects of early
-twentieth century Texas culture are most in danger of being lost without
-adequate record. Often histories and other documents reflect the lives
-and architecture of the wealthy and well-known rather than the common
-people. Still, the buildings and farms of the latter reflect distinctive
-regional styles, and tell us many interesting things about the lives of
-the people who built and lived in them.
-

- Project inspecting the banks of Richland Creek for archaeological
- remains. The project area was examined by teams of archaeologists
- for prehistoric and historic archaeological resources.]
-
-Once we know what we are looking for, actually finding sites requires a
-variety of methods. The most effective technique is the trained observer
-walking over the ground. Prehistoric sites, that is sites occupied prior
-to written history in the project area (about A.D. 1650), can be found
-by observing distinctive bits of stone (_debitage_) produced during
-manufacture and use of stone tools. Before contact with Europeans, the
-Indians of Texas had no metals for making tools, and relied upon stone
-for many kinds of implements. In other instances, pieces of prehistoric
-pottery (_potsherds_), animal bone or shell, or stained soil deposits
-(_middens_) signal prehistoric sites. Many of these clues are easily
-overlooked except by a trained archaeologist.
-
-In addition to ground survey, aerial photographs and geological studies
-may be helpful in finding sites. In the RCAP, for example, a soils
-scientist studied the geological history of the project area, and was
-able to give the archaeologists a good idea where and how deeply
-archaeological sites might be buried. One of the most valuable means of
-locating archaeological sites was talking to local people and amateur
-archaeologists. Many of these people are keen observers and reported the
-location of many prehistoric and historic sites.
-
-Excavating sites is a complex task. There is no single technique for
-digging. The kinds of methods employed vary from excavation of _test
-pits_ or _trenches_ with shovels and trowels, to making larger exposures
-with heavy equipment. Sometimes the shape and placement of these
-excavations is determined by statistical sampling considerations; and
-they are always conditioned by the specific information that the
-archaeologist hopes to get from a site. That is really the most
-important point: excavations are aimed at recovering information, not
-things per se. As we pointed out earlier in the mention of
-archaeological context, artifacts have little meaning taken out of their
-setting. This fact creates one of the most striking aspects of an
-archaeological excavation to many people. There is a tremendous amount
-of record keeping that goes on in a dig—maps of the site and of the test
-pit walls (_profiles_), sheets describing artifacts and soil
-characteristics, photographs and many others (Figure 3). The object is
-to keep enough records that, if necessary, the archaeological site could
-be reconstructed in detail. A parallel set of record keeping comes into
-play, too, once things from the field reach the archaeological lab.
-
-The demanding nature of excavation is a good reason why the untrained
-should not attempt to excavate sites. Without proper controls, digging
-can only result in loss of archaeological resources. Those who are
-interested in learning proper archaeological methods can contact
-organizations listed at the end of this report (Appendix I).
-
-People invariably want to know what happens to the things that are
-collected by archaeologists. Do archaeologists add artifacts to their
-private collections, for example? Among professional archaeologists,
-keeping of private collections is actively discouraged. The reason for
-this is that archaeological remains are considered a scientific and
-public resource that should not be held for personal reasons. As
-scientists, archaeologists are interested in artifacts as sources of
-information rather than as objects with intrinsic value. All artifacts
-collected in the Reservoir, as is the case with all conservation
-archaeology projects, will be stored in permanent institutional
-repositories, where they can be studied by future generations of
-scientists. Also, plans are underway to return some of this material to
-the local area in the form of a museum display, for the benefit of the
-public.

- THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE RICHLAND-CHAMBERS RESERVOIR
-
-
- _PREHISTORIC PAST_
-
-Recent studies suggest that humans have occupied North America for at
-least 20,000 years. These prehistoric Indians were the first people to
-live in North America, probably entering the New World first by way of a
-great land bridge between what is now Siberia and Alaska. True pioneers,
-they entered a vast land that had never before contained humans. Once in
-the New World, their culture developed over thousands of years into
-several successive stages and spread over the whole of North America and
-into South America. In the United States the development of prehistoric
-American Indian cultures is a fascinating story of a people’s
-increasingly complex culture and adaptations to the wealth of natural
-resources offered by our continent. Since this development occurred
-before these people developed systems of writing, their history is
-available to us only through archaeology and other sciences. Without an
-effort to understand this story, the history of a whole people will
-disappear without record.
-
-The peopling of the New World represents a kind of huge laboratory for
-understanding how human societies develop over long periods of time.
-Since the first people in North America entered a new land that did not
-contain human competitors except themselves, we can study the
-development of their culture over thousands of years in a relatively
-simple frame of analysis. Archaeologists currently recognize four basic
-culture stages of prehistoric Indian development in North America. These
-stages are represented, in varying ways and degrees, by the archaeology
-of the Richland-Chambers project.
-
-
- _The Paleo-Indian Stage_
- (_18,000 to 8000 B.C._)
-
-Since 1925, when flint spear points were found embedded in the bones of
-a kind of long-extinct bison, scientists have known that Native
-Americans lived in this country for tens-of-thousands of years. We call
-these people the “Paleo” Indians, after the Greek word for ancient, to
-refer to the oldest inhabitants of this continent. Intriguing as these
-people are, however, we understand little about them because we have
-found few traces of their habitations. The most distinctive trait of
-these people is chipped stone spear points with characteristic “flutes,”
-or long flake scars, on their surfaces (probably helping to lash the
-spear point to a shaft). These are unlike anything made by their
-descendants over the thousands of years to follow. Beautifully made,
-these artifacts are obviously stone tools of hunters, who depended on
-their weapons for a livelihood (Figure 4).
-
-At first, it appears that the population grew slowly in the
-newly-inhabited continent of North America. The people in this period
-were apparently nomadic, frequently moving in search of game animals,
-seasonal plant foods and raw materials. Since there were not many of
-them, and they moved frequently, they did not leave many remains for the
-archaeologist to find. In the project area, only the base portion of a
-fluted point has been found but this artifact is an unmistakable but
-faint clue to the presence of Paleo-Indian inhabitants. With further
-work, more evidence may come to light. As matters now stand, we
-understand little of these people’s economy, religion, society,
-settlement pattern and other things that made up their culture.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 4. Drawing of a Paleo-Indian fluted point
- (Clovis type).]
-
-
- _The Archaic Stage_
- (_8000 B.C. to A.D. 1?_)
-
-Following the Paleo-Indian stage of cultural development, we know that
-population continued to grow steadily over thousands of years. We know
-this trend occurred because we find many more sites. In the project
-area, for example, we find that about half of all prehistoric sites that
-can be related to a cultural stage are from the Archaic stage (over 300
-prehistoric sites were recorded during 1980-81). Even though these sites
-were occupied over thousands of years, they are a striking contrast to
-the scanty evidence of Paleo-Indian groups.
-
-Another thing that makes it easier to find Archaic stage sites is that
-the Archaic peoples’ way of life had changed from that of the
-Paleo-Indians. The hallmark of Archaic culture was a round of occupation
-from one site to another in a regular cycle timed to the changing
-seasons. We suspect, for example, that during the fall, families moved
-to camps on river terraces where they could gather acorns and other nuts
-for winter food and hunt deer. In the spring and summer, they may have
-moved to camps on streams, where they could fish and gather roots,
-berries and mussels. By coming back to their sites again and again over
-hundreds or thousands of years, a great deal of waste materials was
-deposited leaving evidence to be found by archaeologists.
-
-At present, only the barest outline of this culture is understood. Yet
-through study of their burial patterns, discarded food materials and
-many other aspects of the archaeological sites they left behind, we can
-come to a much fuller understanding of their culture (Figure 5).
-
-
- _The Woodland Stage_
- (_A.D. 1 to A.D. 800?_)
-
-Throughout much of eastern North America we know that tremendous
-cultural changes occurred in the few centuries before and after the time
-of Christ. The society of simple hunters and gatherers in Archaic times
-gave way to a much more advanced type of society for reasons that are
-not entirely understood at present. We do know that Woodland stage
-peoples began building huge earthworks; sometimes as burial mounds,
-sometimes in the forms of animals such as snakes. From a social point of
-view, big changes occurred. We find the first evidence of social ranking
-in which a few powerful people were buried in mounds with great wealth
-and ceremony. In certain respects, this development was a clear step
-toward the eventual emergence of civilizations. We know that this kind
-of change has occurred independently in many parts of the world but we
-do not yet know why. It is clearly an important development with
-consequences for all human societies.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 5. Projectile points excavated from an Archaic
- stage site in the Richland project. Some of the stone from which
- these points were made was imported by the Indians from many miles
- away from the project.]
-
-The Woodland stage also saw major technological advances. It was in this
-period that the bow and arrow, making of pottery (Figure 6) and
-agriculture (though this may have occurred during Archaic times, too)
-make their appearance.
-
-The interesting aspect of the project area is that some of these things
-(e.g., the bow and arrow and pottery) appear to have been adopted, but
-not others, including the settled village life, agriculture, earth works
-and social complexity of other prehistoric peoples to the east and north
-(e.g., the prehistoric Caddo Indians). In many ways, it appears that the
-relatively simpler life of Archaic times persisted, with a few items
-borrowed from more advanced outsiders. This pattern is one that deserves
-an explanation.
-
-
- _Neo-American Stage_
- (_A.D. 800 to 1500_)
-
-The Neo-American stage, also called the Mississippian stage in the
-eastern U.S., was the last prehistoric culture stage, and the one with
-the most complex culture. During this stage, large pyramid-shaped
-earthen mounds, complex ceremonialism, long-distance trade, heavy
-reliance on crops such as corn and squash, and a complex social order,
-with powerful chiefs at the top of the ranking system, all merged. The
-prehistoric Caddo Indians of East Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and
-Louisiana are an excellent example of this type of culture.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 6. Pieces of prehistoric earthen pottery
- (potsherds) that were made during the Neo-American cultural stage in
- the project. Note the different types of surface decorations.]
-
-Yet, for all of the vigor and influence of this type of culture, its
-influence was not felt to the same degree everywhere. In the project
-area, there are only a few sites that suggest substantial contact with
-the most developed Neo-American cultures. In those cases we find certain
-kinds of prehistoric pottery vessels that, if not actually obtained from
-more culturally advanced peoples to the east and north, were modelled
-after ceramics of neighboring peoples.
-
-These facts raise many questions. Were the inhabitants of the project
-area during Neo-American times carrying on an older style of life,
-modelled economically after the earlier Archaic-type of economy? Were
-the resources available in the project insufficient to support a
-thoroughly agricultural type of economy? Equipped only with simple hand
-tools, only certain kinds of soils allowed agriculture by these ancient
-peoples. The tough prairie grasses, for example, would have made certain
-kinds of soils difficult, if not impossible to cultivate.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 7. This trench is one of those excavated in two
- “Wylie focus” pits discovered in the project. Since these
- prehistoric pits are about 100 feet in diameter, it is difficult to
- show their extent in a photograph. Much information on the age,
- construction sequence and content of the pits was gained from test
- trenches such as this one.]
-
-There is also the question of environmental influences. We know that
-over a period of thousands of years the climate of Texas, in fact of all
-of North America, has changed a great deal. Part of the ongoing research
-in the RCAP is the study of past environments. Some of the most
-promising results here are from the fields of geology and palynology
-(the study of pollen records). Many people do not know that pollen from
-ancient plants may be preserved in the soil for thousands of years, and
-can be recovered with certain laboratory methods. If this pollen from
-past periods is found, it can help to understand the kinds of vegetation
-that were present at different points in time. The present evidence from
-the project is exciting. It suggests, for example, that a drought far
-worse than anything recorded in the history of Texas occurred sometime
-between A.D. 1000 to 1300. The severity of the drought may have caused
-prehistoric people to change their way of life, including abandoning the
-project area.
-
-Another major scientific discovery has been made in the project, and is
-dated to the Neo-American stage. For forty years archaeologists have
-known that an area on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, north of
-Dallas, contained large, man-made pits dating to the Neo-American stage.
-These were called Wylie focus pits, after a system of classification of
-sites used by archaeologists. These pits are truly large, some measuring
-up to 100 feet in diameter and up to 10 feet deep in the center (Figure
-7). Moreover, these pits generally contain many human burials placed in
-the pit over a period of time. One pit even contained the skeleton of a
-young bear. All of these pits were excavated by hand with simple digging
-implements.
-
-During the Richland project’s first season of work two of these pits
-were located and excavated. The discovery of these pits extended the
-known range of these unique cultural features over 100 miles from the
-region of their original occurrence.
-
-At present, it is unclear what prehistoric culture constructed these
-monumental works or what their function may have been. It is safe to
-say, however, that these kinds of sites are unique to the north Texas
-area, and constitute a major point of archaeological interest. Work will
-be continuing on these sites in the next few years.
-
-
- _HISTORIC PAST_
-
-The archaeological story of people in this area during the last 150
-years is no less exciting than its prehistoric counterpart. From the
-material remains, sites, and structures that these people have left
-behind, we see a picture of the rapid taming of a frontier, its rural
-agricultural florescence at the turn of this century, and then its
-decline under adverse economic conditions. Much of the rural landscape
-still contains a significant percentage of early twentieth century
-structures in varying degrees of abandonment and preservation. The
-following sections briefly look at the archaeological record for the
-historic period in the RCAP area as we know it today. The archaeological
-record provides us with a tangible and materially rich picture of
-specific aspects of daily life. The record left behind by the area’s
-past inhabitants provides much detailed information about their
-dwellings, farms, personal belongings, daily activities and lifeways.
-Although we have only begun to decipher the information, some results
-are already available from the 194 historic sites tested and the several
-dozen individuals interviewed to date.
-
-Before entering into a discussion of the historic period, let us step
-back from the results and answer several major questions. What important
-and unique qualities emerge from the historic archaeological record for
-this area? Does the record tell us the same story that it would for
-other areas? What insight does the record provide that is distinct and
-unique to this part of Texas?
-
-Unfortunately, not much is available from other areas of the country for
-making comparisons to the study area, but from what is known a general
-picture can be formed. The rural communities in this area consisted
-mainly of farms from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth
-century. The sites representing these former farms indicate that
-lifeways were amazingly stable and relatively unaffected by influences
-coming from urban cultures. Since 1940, however, much of the distinctive
-culture of this rural area, unfortunately, has succumbed to the same
-urban American values found over other broad regions. The archaeological
-record suggests that before mass transportation and electricity entered
-the local scene, this area would have ranked among the richest of late
-nineteenth century areas in terms of local folk cultures and rural
-lifeways. Today, much of the rural culture has been lost. An objective
-of the Richland Creek Archaeological Project has been to record some of
-this information through interviews with senior residents over the next
-several years.
-
-Results of some of the work conducted in the study of past lifeways
-portray the area’s past residents as a group of people who often made
-efficient and wise use of their local natural resources. This is
-illustrated in one aspect of their building construction. As bottomland
-forests were cut and less wood was available locally, many individuals
-adopted the practice of recycling major elements of older structures
-into new ones. Figure 8 is an example of recycling older beams. Reuse of
-older structures underscores a keen awareness of optimizing local
-resources. Undoubtedly, other examples of the efficient use of local
-resources will emerge as structures and sites are studied in greater
-detail.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 8. Twentieth century shed constructed with hand
- hewn and reused sills and joists. This is a prime example of the
- recycling of older building parts.]
-
-
- _A Look at the Past Through Material Remains_
-
-What can we expect to gain from looking at broken pieces of plates,
-bottles, animal bones, buttons, and window glass 50 or a 100 years old?
-Aren’t museum collections and written histories adequate for providing
-information about rural life from 1870 to 1910? Unfortunately, there is
-a big difference between the type of information available through
-antiques, books, people, and archaeology. Artifacts represent fragments
-generally resulting from the discarding or breaking of common items.
-Most antiques represent whole items recognized as having some intrinsic
-value which afforded them greater care or curation and less utilitarian
-usage. Most artifacts, on the other hand, represent common household
-items or possessions that did not receive special care or handling. No
-fragments of elaborately cut crystal wine glasses were among the 30,000
-historic artifacts recovered from the project area, but fragments of
-inexpensive, undecorated tumblers were present. Similarly, only several
-dozen fragments of porcelain vessels were among the nearly 1,200 ceramic
-fragments excavated. Does this mean that cut wine glasses or porcelain
-cups were seldom available? No, more likely it represents a difference
-in handling and caring for these more expensive items. As an example,
-try counting the number of porcelain tablewares (plates, dishes, cups,
-etc.) in the household of an elderly person. In most cases, porcelain
-will be very frequent and often 50 years old or even older. These items
-have been saved from common use and now serve decorative or very special
-functions. The point of this example is to emphasize that the items
-fifty or more years old in households or museums today are not
-representative of the items lying broken and scattered around historic
-sites.
-
-Can the written record provide us with much of the information we need
-to know? The richness of the written record is not to be underrated.
-However, in many areas, the written record is not without its problems.
-Often objective details about daily activities or observations about
-common material possessions, farm layouts, folkways or folk technologies
-are hard to locate. Diaries, travelers’ accounts, and written histories,
-on the other hand, frequently provide interesting personal or anecdotal
-kinds of information. The position that archaeologists wish to emphasize
-is that we should not rely solely on the written record in an attempt to
-understand the past. The picture conveyed for a group of people from
-their sites and material remains can be strikingly different from their
-own story told in writings. The archaeological record provides a direct
-and often objective source of information which is consistent over long
-periods of time. The record of your own life as revealed in the items
-you discard may be quite different than what you portray to others. This
-fact makes some aspects of the archaeological record both interesting
-and important for reconstructing past lifeways.
-
-These major points all contribute to the value of the archaeological
-record. For nineteenth century rural East-central Texas, written
-records, oral folk knowledge, and antiques leave much of the story
-untold. The archaeology of historic sites in the proposed Reservoir area
-will begin to illuminate much of the former lifeways of these small
-rural agricultural communities. Without preserving some of this
-information, future generations will have little to study in order to
-probe the past of this nearly 100 square miles. The displacement of
-people and the submergence of places and sites so familiar today means
-oblivion for many former homesteads and communities. The task of the
-historic archaeologist is to select and preserve important aspects of
-the past record so that this information is available to future
-generations.
-
-
- _Historic Settlement Along Richland and Chambers Creeks (1840-1940)_
-
-The first few permanent settlers came to this area soon after Texas
-declared its independence from Mexico in 1836. Settlement increased
-tremendously after Texas achieved statehood as families migrated
-westward. Most of these earliest settlers constructed log cabins for
-dwellings. About ten log cabin sites possibly dating to the
-mid-nineteenth century have been located in the area. Overall, however,
-we see a picture of families with widely different resources facing the
-same rural frontier. On the upper end were relatively affluent frontier
-plantation owners, such as the Burlesons and Blackmons, who settled
-along Richland Creek, or the Ingrams along the Trinity River to the
-north. The location of these affluent households were similar. They were
-located well above the creek bottoms and in the vicinity of good cotton
-land. Even the crude plantation houses themselves were similar in that
-each presented an air of important social status. Through the
-architecture of these dwellings each owner presented a visual display of
-his personal wealth and social status. Although these houses were far
-less sophisticated than those found further east in Louisiana or
-Mississippi, they were the mark of status in this area. The Burleson
-plantation house is shown in Figures 9 and 10. Compared to the simple,
-small, unpretentious log cabin shown in Figure 11, the crude frontier
-plantation house of East-central Texas fulfilled its social role as
-needed.
-
-In the reservoir area, the former sites of several simple log cabins
-have been found. Figure 12 shows the remains of one log cabin as found
-today. These sites indicate that life was orderly yet simple during the
-mid-nineteenth century. The settlers that came to this area were, for
-the most part, experienced in reading the land. The locations selected
-for each cabin were well above the bottomlands in order to avoid the
-danger of floods, but at the same time close to rich farmland and water.
-Fifty years later people were much less concerned about selecting the
-proper location for a dwelling. As a consequence, many log cabins have
-endured over a century of harsh weather and have outlasted more recent
-structures.
-
-By 1870, several dozen small communities, (Petty’s Chapel, Birdston,
-Rush Creek, Wadeville, Pisgah Ridge, Rural Shade, Re, and Providence)
-dotted the landscape. The railroad penetrated the area in 1871 and
-brought about many changes in the area that have lasted until today.
-There was, however, a price to be paid for this modern convenience of
-trade and travel. For some of the small communities, the railroad
-brought financial death and abandonment. The archaeological record shows
-this pattern clearly. New communities seem to have grown up overnight
-(e.g., Richland, Navarro, Cheneyboro, Streetman, and Kerens) while
-others, which had been around for 30 or 40 years, deteriorated rapidly
-(e.g. Wadeville, Pisgah Ridge, Winkler, and Re).
-
-In addition to causing a shift in rural populations, the railroads also
-brought another major change. Prior to the railroads, these rural
-communities had become nearly self sufficient. The remains of a kiln for
-firing hand made bricks found in the project area stands as an example
-of rural folk industry (some fragments of glazed handmade bricks from
-the kiln are shown in Figure 13). Other craftsmen also may have been
-dispersed over this rural countryside. The shoe last (iron form used in
-shoe repair) found at one site suggests that a rural cobbler may have
-once stayed at the site (Figure 14). The railroads symbolized the start
-of a new era where mass produced goods, brick, lumber, shoes and
-commercial products could be transported cheaply into the area. Along
-with these goods came better living conditions and prosperity for many
-farmers and merchants. As a consequence some rural folk industries such
-as brick making disappeared and were replaced by commercial
-establishments. Even the need for a rural cobbler may have been eclipsed
-by the railroads.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 9. Burleson Plantation house as seen today. This
- mid-nineteenth century upper class dwelling, although covered with
- sheet metal, is much larger than contemporary log cabins.]
-

-
- [Illustration: Fig. 12. The remains of a log cabin as seen today.

- area.]
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 13. Fragments of hand made bricks from a brick
- kiln site. Brick fragment at center top is covered with a crusty
- burned coating. Brick fragment at bottom lower left has a smooth
- light green-gray glaze on its outer surface.]
-
-The archaeological record shows another effect of railroads on the local
-residents. Investigations so far suggest that there was an increase in
-the consumption of such items as bottles (Figure 15), plates (Figure
-16), personal possessions and the like in the few decades after the
-railroads entered this area. By the early twentieth century, the
-archaeological record suggests that rural households had been partly,
-but not entirely incorporated into the patterns of commercial
-consumption. It seems that many were able to retain some of their rural
-folkways well into the twentieth century.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 14. Iron shoe last used in cobbler work from a
- historic site.]
-
-The battle played locally between rural American lifeways and their
-urban counterparts may be inferred from a close look at the sites,
-structures, and artifacts these people have left behind. For example,
-the pattern of intensive yard use by families in this area remains
-unchanged until well into the twentieth century. Many fragments of
-pottery and glass lie scattered around these rural dwellings. In other
-more settled parts of the country, such as the northeast, rural farmers
-had shifted away from this pattern of intensive yard use toward a
-pattern reflecting commercial consumption. In the Reservoir area, swept
-dirt yards were still being used for various daily activities, from
-processing food to discarding refuse, while cosmetically treated and
-manicured lawns were being kept in New England, New York, and much of
-the mid-Atlantic region. In this regard, domestic life in much of
-East-central Texas had changed very little. In other parts of the
-country, archaeology reveals dramatic reorganization to keep pace with a
-society moving towards increased consumption and disposable material
-culture. Denser rural populations and a greater consumption of
-disposable material culture forced many communities to organize town
-dumps and mass collections to cope with the excess products. The
-Richland Creek area did not experience this transition until well into
-the twentieth century. Lower population density and a stronger tie to
-more traditional lifeways kept many aspects of rural life the same until
-the advent of better roads and electricity in the mid-1930s.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 15. Late nineteenth and early twentieth century
- bottle fragments recovered from historic sites in the project area.]
-
-The persistence of an unpretentious and traditional aspect of rural life
-in this area can be observed in the dwellings found throughout. The
-_Cumberland_ and _Hipped Roof Bungalows_ found here reveal a blend of
-traditional southern lifeways and local folk elements. Figures 17 and 18
-show two examples of early twentieth century dwellings. Figure 19
-illustrates the traditional cultural overtones of this region and shows
-an early twentieth century log barn.
-
-Several other aspects of traditional Southern lifeways have been
-captured in the archaeological record. The sites in the Richland Creek
-area indicate that foodways did not change as quickly in this area as in
-others. For example, the archaeological record suggests that home
-canning with commercial fruit canning (Figure 20) jars was slow to
-penetrate this area. Wide use of glass fruit jars does not appear until
-the second decade of this century, unlike other parts of the country
-that used them as early as 1870 or 1880.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 16. Fragments of late nineteenth and early
- twentieth century ceramics. The printed marks designate the
- manufacturer. The mark seen in the top row is typical of many late
- nineteenth century British potteries.]
-
-Last of all, the consumption of commercially produced alcoholic
-beverages, liquors, and patent medicines does not appear to be anywhere
-near that observed in the refuse discarded by contemporaneous residents
-of the northeast or frontier southwest. Whether this indicates local
-adherence to southern temperance or the widespread use of “homemade”
-products is not known at this time.
-
-When segments of the archaeological record are combined, the picture
-emerges of an area rich in traditional Southern lifeways. From dwellings
-and patterns of yard use to foodways and the late participation in a
-society based on consumption, the archaeological record reveals a rural
-style of life that changed little for a period of about 100 years. In
-this regard, this area avoided the less desirable aspects of changing
-popular American culture and allowed local folk cultures to flourish.
-After the great depression and World War II, all of this changed. Today
-rural East-central Texas is not much different than many other parts of
-the country, but has an archaeological heritage of which to be proud.

- GLOSSARY
-
-
-_Archaeology_ (also spelled _archeology_): In the United States,
-archaeology is taught and practiced as one of the four major subfields
-of anthropology (with anthropological linguistics, physical
-anthropology, and cultural anthropology). The aim of archaeology is the
-understanding of past human societies. Archaeologists not only attempt
-to discover and describe past cultures, but also to develop explanations
-for the development of cultures.
-
-
-_Archaeologist_: Anyone with an interest in the aims and methods of
-archaeology. At a professional level, the archaeologist usually holds a
-degree in anthropology, with a specialization in archaeology (see
-_Archaeology_). The professional archaeologist is one who is capable of
-collecting archaeological information in a proper scientific way, and
-interpreting that information in light of existing scientific theories
-and methods.
-
-
-_Archaeological Survey_: The archaeological survey is a study intended
-to compile an inventory of archaeological remains within a given area.
-Usually a survey is an extensive rather than an intensive phase of
-archaeological study. The objective is to form the most complete and
-representative picture possible of the archaeological remains found
-within a defined area. Surveys may be based upon a wide variety of
-methods, including on-foot examinations of the ground surface, brief
-digging, talking with people who know where archaeological sites are to
-be found, consulting historical records, and looking at satellite photos
-of an area.
-
-
-_Archaeological Testing_: Archaeological testing involves carrying out
-limited-scale testing of archaeological sites (see _Site_). Testing
-attempts to dig only enough to determine the extent, content and state
-of preservation within an archaeological site.
-
-
-_Artifact_: Any object that shows evidence of modification by a human
-agency. Examples of artifacts are spear points chipped from flint,
-animal bones burned during preparation of a meal, fragments of pottery
-vessels and coins. Whether ancient or recent, artifacts are the traces
-of human behavior, and therefore one of the prime categories of things
-studied by archaeologists (see also _Context_).
-
-
-_Conservation Archaeology_: A subfield of archaeology whose primary
-objective is informed management of archaeological remains and
-information. Working with private and public agencies, conservation
-archaeologists provide information that will allow archaeological
-properties and information to be effectively managed for the benefit of
-future generations. In this context, archaeological values are a natural
-resource of the nation, to be wisely conserved for the future (see
-_Cultural Resource Management_).
-
-
-_Context_, or _Archaeological Context_: The setting from which
-archaeological objects (see _Artifacts_) are taken. Usually the meaning
-of archaeological objects cannot be discerned without information about
-their setting. One example is determining how old an object is, given
-that the age of objects excavated from a site varies with their depth in
-the ground. Unless the depth of an object is carefully recorded against
-a fixed point of reference, it may be impossible to relate objects to
-the dimension of time.
-
-
-_Cultural Resource Management_: Development of programs and policies
-aimed at conservation of archaeological properties and information. Such
-programs exist within the federal and state governments, academic
-institutions and private agencies.
-
-
-_Cumberland Dwelling_: An architectural style named for its common
-occurrence throughout middle Tennessee. These dwellings have two front
-rooms of about equal size and front doors, with any additional rooms
-added onto the rear of the building.
-
-
-_Data Recovery_: In the context of cultural resource management (see
-definition) studies, data recovery refers to relatively large-scale
-excavation designed to remove important objects and information from an
-archaeological site prior to its planned destruction. Data recovery is
-only undertaken after it is shown that preservation of the site in place
-is not a feasible course of action in the project in question.
-Scientific data are recovered to answer important scientific and
-cultural questions.
-
-
-_Debitage_: A term meaning the characteristic types of stone flakes
-produced from manufacture of prehistoric stone tools by chipping (as,
-for example, stone spear and arrow points). One of the most common types
-of prehistoric artifacts, these distinctive flakes frequently alert the
-archaeologist to the presence of a prehistoric site.
-
-
-_Feature_, or _Archaeological Feature_: Many things of archaeological
-interest are portable, such as fragments of bone, pottery and stone
-tools. However, archaeological sites frequently contain man-made things
-that are not portable, but are part of the earth itself. Examples of
-these features are hearths, foundations of buildings, storage pits,
-grave pits and canals.
-
-
-_Hipped Roof Bungalow_: These are square to rectangular dwellings with
-hipped gable roofs, one or two front doors and four to five rooms
-arranged in a modular design.
-
-
-_Historic Sites_: Archaeological sites dating to the historic era, or
-after about the early seventeenth century in the project area. The
-distinguishing characteristic of this period is availability of written
-documents. This era extends from the earliest period mentioned in
-histories to the present.
-
-
-_Midden_: A word (adopted from the Danish language) meaning refuse heap.
-In many instances, one of the most apparent aspects of an archaeological
-site is “midden”, or a soil layer stained to a dark color by
-decomposition of organic refuse, and containing food bones, fragments of
-stone tools, charcoal, pieces of pottery or other discards.
-Archaeologists can learn a great deal about people’s lifeways by
-studying their middens.
-
-
-_Potsherds_ (or _sherds_): Pieces of ceramic vessels. Since the making
-of pottery did not begin in the project area until the first few
-centuries A.D., the presence of potsherds is a useful index of time.
-Also, the composition of the sherds and their decorative motifs are a
-highly useful way of detecting different prehistoric cultural groups,
-since manufacture and design of pottery varied with cultural groups.
-
-
-_Prehistoric Sites_: Archaeological sites (see _Site_) that date to a
-time prior to European contact (that is, before written history). In the
-project area that would be prior to the early seventeenth century.
-Prehistory is a relative concept, varying from one area to another,
-depending on the first intrusion of Americans or Europeans.
-
-
-_Profiles_: Detailed maps of the walls of test pits and test trenches
-(see definitions). These are key records in understanding a site’s
-layers (stratigraphy) and distribution and age of artifacts.
-
-
-_Site_: A site, or archaeological site, is the location of past human
-behavior. Sites vary tremendously in their size and content, ranging
-from cities to a few flakes of stone indicating the manufacture of a
-stone tool. As a relative concept, sites are defined in relation to
-specific research problems and needs.
-
-
-_Stratigraphy_: A number of normal processes caused the earth’s surface
-to be built up over time in layer-cake fashion. Sometimes this is caused
-by floods or wind-carried soil. In other cases it may result from people
-piling up refuse of one kind or another. The layering effect here is
-called stratigraphy, and is a major interpretive tool of the
-archaeologist. Within a given stratigraphic sequence the most deeply
-buried layers are usually the oldest, and things found within a given
-level were usually from the same points in time. Stratigraphy is
-therefore a means of telling time (in a relative sense) for the
-archaeologist.
-
-
-_Test Pits_: Rectilinear pits dug during excavation of a site (see
-_Archaeological Testing_). The archaeologist works with square or
-rectangular pits because they aid in keeping records of changes in soil
-types and other variables with depth. Extensive records, drawings and
-maps are kept of test pits. The function of the test pit is to provide a
-sample of a site’s contents at a particular point.
-
-
-_Test Trenches_: Serving much the same function as a test pit, the test
-trench give a more continuous record of a site’s contents over a larger
-distance than a pit. Trenches are useful for tracing stratigraphy (see
-definition) over distance.
-
-
-
-
- APPENDIX I
-
-
-There are several organizations that encourage interest and education in
-archaeology by members of the public. Some of these organizations are
-listed below.
-
-
-The first is the _Texas Archaeological Society, Center for
-Archaeological Research, University of Texas at San Antonio, San
-Antonio, TX 78285_. This society is composed of avocational
-archaeologists from all walks of life. It holds an annual meeting in the
-fall during which members present papers on various aspects of Texas
-archaeology. Each summer the society also organizes a field school where
-members can participate in excavation of an archaeological site under
-the supervision of a professional archaeologist. The society also
-publishes a high-quality bulletin about Texas archaeology.
-
-
-Another organization that promotes archaeology is the _Archaeological
-Institute of America_. This organization has its national headquarters
-in Washington, D.C., and schedules national lecture tours by
-archaeologists who visit local chapters in major cities. The lectures
-are offered six times a year, and present the results of archaeological
-investigations world-wide.
-
-
-In addition, local or county archaeological societies can be contacted
-for information about archaeology in Texas. If such an organization does
-not currently exist in your community, perhaps you could start one!
-
-
-Discovery of archaeological remains, particularly destruction of
-archaeological properties, deserves official attention. To report such
-events and to obtain information about the State’s efforts in protecting
-archaeological and historical resources, contact: _Texas Historical
-Commission, P.O. Box 12276, Capitol Station, Austin, TX, 78711_.

-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<p><i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">Archaeology</a></i><a class="fn" id="fr_1" href="#fn_1">[1]</a> has a number of popular stereotypes
-usually involving expeditions to remote parts
-of the Earth in search of ancient tombs, lost cities or
-long-extinct races of Man. The <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a></i> is
-seen working a &ldquo;dig&rdquo; for years, looking for bits of
-bone or stone of little importance to anyone but
-other scientists.</p>
-<p>In reality, however, <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a> departs from this
-picture considerably. Many modern archaeologists
-work in their own communities on projects that
-include things familiar to most of us. The scope of
-their studies may range from 10,000 year old
-American Indian <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a></i> to early twentieth century
-farms. Excavations are carried out with the aid of
-tools, including small dental instruments, large
-earth-moving machines, and electronic computers.
-Often, archaeologists do not dig at all, but gather
-information from maps, photographs, written histories,
-and living informants. In fact, more time by
-far is spent working on <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a></i> in a laboratory, and
-especially in writing reports of excavations, than is
-spent in the field. Even more surprising, many
-archaeologists today work in cooperation with private
-and governmental agencies to protect archaeological remains,
-as required by state and federal
-laws. A specialized field of archaeology, called
-<i>public</i> or <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_ConservationArchaeology">conservation archaeology</a></i>, has come into
-existence in the last twenty years to meet this need.</p>
-<p>The archaeological studies in the Richland Creek
-Reservoir area are a good example of <a class="gloss" href="#g_ConservationArchaeology">conservation archaeology</a> in
-action. This report explains what the
-Richland Creek Archaeological Project (RCAP) is,
-how it works, and what it has accomplished thus far.
-Above all, the report tries to show why conservation of
-our archaeological heritage is important to us all,
-and to future generations.</p>
-<p>A series of archaeological studies are planned for
-the Richland-Chambers Dam and Reservoir area
-near Corsicana, Texas (<a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>). The first phase of
-those studies was carried out during 1980-81. The
-Tarrant County Water Control and Improvement
-District Number 1, developer of the Reservoir,
-employed Southern Methodist University<a class="fn" id="fr_2" href="#fn_2">[2]</a>
-to conduct archaeological studies. Like other construction
-projects requiring state and federal permits, the
-Reservoir cannot be completed unless state and
-federal laws pertaining to archaeological and historical
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> are adhered to. Since 1906, several federal
-and state laws have been enacted to protect important
-archaeological sites. Particularly during the last
-two decades, these laws have defined archaeological remains as
-an important cultural resource that
-should be conserved for future generations.</p>
-<p>In recent decades legislators and the public have
-come to realize that the expansion of our urban-industrial
-society is rapidly destroying the <i>archaeological resources</i> of
-the country. In many regions
-of the United States this destruction has reached
-crisis proportions. Experts point out that within
-another generation, given current rates of resource
-destruction from industry, agriculture, and other
-land-modification projects, intact archaeological resources
-will virtually cease to exist within large
-areas of the nation.</p>
-<p>Archaeological resources are fragile and nonrenewable.
-Much of the scientific value of archaeological resources is lost if they cannot be studied in
-<span class="pb" id="Page_2">2</span>
-an undisturbed <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Context">context</a></i>. Objects excavated from a
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> have little meaning unless they can be related to
-specific soil layers (<i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Stratigraphy">stratigraphy</a></i>) and other evidence
-of former activities of people, such as hearths,
-trash deposits, house remains and other <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Feature">features</a></i>.
-Any activity that disturbs the soil may destroy this
-context.</p>

-<p>The primary objective of archaeologists working
-in <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_CulturalResourceManagement">cultural resource management</a></i> is <i>archaeological conservation</i>.
-As in the case of other non-renewable
-natural resources, the emphasis is on resource
-preservation. In the case of archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>, that
-<span class="pb" id="Page_3">3</span>
-means digging as a last resort. The first priority of
-the conservation <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a> is to preserve in an
-intact state a reasonable number of archaeological sites for
-future generations of scientists and the
-public. Sometimes sites can be preserved by selecting
-a construction design which avoids them. In
-other instances adverse impact is unavoidable&mdash;a
-case in which excavations are carried out to recover
-scientific information contained in the sites prior to
-their destruction. Recovery of this information is
-one way of conserving the resource. Preservation
-through <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_DataRecovery">data recovery</a></i> will be required in the Reservoir,
-and will be the focus of work in years to come.</p>
-<h3 id="c2">ARCHAEOLOGISTS AT WORK</h3>
-<p>One way of understanding the RCAP is to look at
-how archaeologists work. People frequently ask
-what is an archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a>? How do you find
-sites? How do you excavate and what do you look
-for? What do you do with the things that you collect?</p>
-<p>During 1980-81, an <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_ArchaeologicalSurvey">archaeological survey</a></i> (<a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>)
-was completed in the project area. During the
-survey, an effort was made to develop the most
-complete inventory possible of <i>prehistoric</i> and <i>historic</i>
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>. Sites were recorded by examining the
-entire project area on foot, consulting landowners,
-amateur archaeologists, written records, museum
-collections, aerial photographs, and other sources of
-information. No survey could guarantee discovery
-of every archaeological site, but every effort was
-made to construct a representative picture of the
-archaeological resources in the project. Next, limited-scale
-excavations (<i>testing</i>) were conducted on a
-sample of sites that were thought to contain information
-best suited to answering specific scientific
-questions. Once more, the intent was not to dig
-every site, but to understand a representative sample
-of archaeological resources within the project.</p>
-<p>Archaeologists find <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> by a variety of means.
-Naturally, how one defines an archaeological site
-has an important bearing on what is considered as
-representative. In the Reservoir, a site was defined
-as any evidence of past human occupation, predating
-1930. The 1930 cut-off date reflects a legal
-definition of sites in the National Register of Historic places, a federal office that records important
-historical and archaeological properties. To be
-eligible for inclusion in the Register, a site must
-generally be at least 50 years old, and must meet a
-number of other criteria. Applying this definition to
-archaeological sites, they may be as different as
-isolated pieces of prehistoric stone tools and an
-early twentieth century farm house. Why such
-concern for these seemingly isolated tools or for
-dwellings that are so recent? One of the things that
-archaeologists have learned is that sometimes bits of
-information that are incomprehensible taken one at
-a time form meaningful patterns when many pieces
-are put together.</p>
-<p>For example, it has been learned that when
-isolated <i>projectile points</i> dropped by prehistoric hunters are plotted on a map, their distribution may
-correlate with patterns of vegetation or topography,
-giving clues about the kinds of animals that they
-were hunting and the size of their hunting territories.
-More recent things, such as old farm houses, are
-worth recording because, as we discuss later, they
-represent the remnants of a way of life that is largely
-gone from rural Texas. In another generation these
-buildings, so familiar as to escape notice by most of
-us, will be gone for the most part, victims of decay,
-vandalism, and land modification. To future generations,
-these &ldquo;<a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a>&rdquo; will be of as much interest as
-<span class="pb" id="Page_4">4</span>
-nineteenth century houses are to us today. There is a
-danger that what is so common to us will fail to be
-recorded. Contrary to what many suppose, the
-rather common aspects of early twentieth century
-Texas culture are most in danger of being lost
-without adequate record. Often histories and other
-documents reflect the lives and architecture of the
-wealthy and well-known rather than the common
-people. Still, the buildings and farms of the latter
-reflect distinctive regional styles, and tell us many
-interesting things about the lives of the people who
-built and lived in them.</p>

-</div>
-<p>Once we know what we are looking for, actually
-finding <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> requires a variety of methods. The most
-effective technique is the trained observer walking
-over the ground. <a class="gloss" href="#g_PrehistoricSites">Prehistoric sites</a>, that is sites
-occupied prior to written history in the project area
-(about A.D. 1650), can be found by observing
-distinctive bits of stone (<i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Debitage">debitage</a></i>) produced during
-manufacture and use of stone tools. Before contact
-<span class="pb" id="Page_5">5</span>
-with Europeans, the Indians of Texas had no metals
-for making tools, and relied upon stone for many
-kinds of implements. In other instances, pieces of
-prehistoric pottery (<i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Potsherds">potsherds</a></i>), animal bone or
-shell, or stained soil deposits (<i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Midden">middens</a></i>) signal
-prehistoric sites. Many of these clues are easily
-overlooked except by a trained <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a>.</p>
-<p>In addition to ground survey, aerial photographs
-and geological studies may be helpful in finding
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>. In the RCAP, for example, a soils scientist
-studied the geological history of the project area, and
-was able to give the archaeologists a good idea
-where and how deeply archaeological sites might be
-buried. One of the most valuable means of locating
-archaeological sites was talking to local people and
-amateur archaeologists. Many of these people are
-keen observers and reported the location of many
-prehistoric and historic sites.</p>
-<p>Excavating <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> is a complex task. There is no
-single technique for digging. The kinds of methods
-employed vary from excavation of <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_TestPits">test pits</a></i> or
-<i>trenches</i> with shovels and trowels, to making larger
-exposures with heavy equipment. Sometimes the
-shape and placement of these excavations is determined
-by statistical sampling considerations; and
-they are always conditioned by the specific information
-that the <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a> hopes to get from a
-site. That is really the most important point: excavations
-are aimed at recovering information, not
-things per se. As we pointed out earlier in the
-mention of archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Context">context</a>, <a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a> have
-little meaning taken out of their setting. This fact
-creates one of the most striking aspects of an
-archaeological excavation to many people. There is
-a tremendous amount of record keeping that goes on
-in a dig&mdash;maps of the site and of the <a class="gloss" href="#g_TestPits">test pit</a> walls
-(<i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Profiles">profiles</a></i>), sheets describing artifacts and soil characteristics,
-photographs and many others (<a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>).
-The object is to keep enough records that, if
-necessary, the archaeological site could be reconstructed
-in detail. A parallel set of record keeping
-comes into play, too, once things from the field reach
-the archaeological lab.</p>
-<p>The demanding nature of excavation is a good
-reason why the untrained should not attempt to
-excavate <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>. Without proper controls, digging can
-only result in loss of archaeological resources.
-Those who are interested in learning proper archaeological methods can
-contact organizations listed at
-the end of this report (<a href="#c13">Appendix I</a>).</p>
-<p>People invariably want to know what happens to
-the things that are collected by archaeologists. Do
-archaeologists add <a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a> to their private collections,
-for example? Among professional archaeologists,
-keeping of private collections is actively
-discouraged. The reason for this is that archaeological remains are considered a scientific and
-public resource that should not be held for personal
-reasons. As scientists, archaeologists are interested
-in artifacts as sources of information rather than as
-objects with intrinsic value. All artifacts collected in
-the Reservoir, as is the case with all <a class="gloss" href="#g_ConservationArchaeology">conservation archaeology</a> projects, will be stored in permanent
-institutional repositories, where they can be studied
-by future generations of scientists. Also, plans are
-underway to return some of this material to the local
-area in the form of a museum display, for the benefit
-of the public.</p>

-<h2 id="c3"><span class="small">THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE RICHLAND-CHAMBERS RESERVOIR</span></h2>
-<h3 id="c4"><i>PREHISTORIC PAST</i></h3>
-<p>Recent studies suggest that humans have occupied
-North America for at least 20,000 years.
-These prehistoric Indians were the first people to
-live in North America, probably entering the New
-World first by way of a great land bridge between
-what is now Siberia and Alaska. True pioneers, they
-entered a vast land that had never before contained
-humans. Once in the New World, their culture
-developed over thousands of years into several
-successive stages and spread over the whole of
-North America and into South America. In the
-United States the development of prehistoric American
-Indian cultures is a fascinating story of a
-people&rsquo;s increasingly complex culture and adaptations
-to the wealth of natural resources offered by
-our continent. Since this development occurred
-before these people developed systems of writing,
-their history is available to us only through <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a>
-and other sciences. Without an effort to
-understand this story, the history of a whole people
-will disappear without record.</p>
-<p>The peopling of the New World represents a kind
-of huge laboratory for understanding how human
-societies develop over long periods of time. Since
-the first people in North America entered a new land
-that did not contain human competitors except
-themselves, we can study the development of their
-culture over thousands of years in a relatively simple
-frame of analysis. Archaeologists currently recognize
-four basic culture stages of prehistoric Indian
-development in North America. These stages are
-represented, in varying ways and degrees, by the
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a> of the Richland-Chambers project.</p>
-<h3 id="c5"><i>The Paleo-Indian Stage</i>
-<br />(<i>18,000 to 8000 B.C.</i>)</h3>
-<p>Since 1925, when flint spear points were found
-embedded in the bones of a kind of long-extinct
-bison, scientists have known that Native Americans
-lived in this country for tens-of-thousands of years.
-We call these people the &ldquo;Paleo&rdquo; Indians, after the
-Greek word for ancient, to refer to the oldest
-inhabitants of this continent. Intriguing as these
-people are, however, we understand little about
-them because we have found few traces of their
-habitations. The most distinctive trait of these
-people is chipped stone spear points with characteristic
-&ldquo;flutes,&rdquo; or long flake scars, on their surfaces
-(probably helping to lash the spear point to a
-shaft). These are unlike anything made by their
-descendants over the thousands of years to follow.
-Beautifully made, these <a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a> are obviously stone
-tools of hunters, who depended on their weapons for
-a livelihood (<a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>).</p>
-<p>At first, it appears that the population grew slowly
-in the newly-inhabited continent of North America.
-The people in this period were apparently nomadic,
-frequently moving in search of game animals, seasonal
-plant foods and raw materials. Since there
-were not many of them, and they moved frequently,
-they did not leave many remains for the <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a>
-to find. In the project area, only the base
-portion of a fluted point has been found but this
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifact</a> is an unmistakable but faint clue to the
-presence of Paleo-Indian inhabitants. With further

-<h3 id="c6"><i>The Archaic Stage</i>
-<br />(<i>8000 B.C. to A.D. 1?</i>)</h3>
-<p>Following the Paleo-Indian stage of cultural development,
-we know that population continued to
-grow steadily over thousands of years. We know this
-trend occurred because we find many more <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>. In
-the project area, for example, we find that about half
-of all <a class="gloss" href="#g_PrehistoricSites">prehistoric sites</a> that can be related to a cultural stage are
-from the Archaic stage (over 300 prehistoric sites were recorded
-during 1980-81). Even
-though these sites were occupied over thousands of
-years, they are a striking contrast to the scanty
-evidence of Paleo-Indian groups.</p>
-<p>Another thing that makes it easier to find Archaic
-stage <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> is that the Archaic peoples&rsquo; way of life
-had changed from that of the Paleo-Indians. The
-hallmark of Archaic culture was a round of occupation
-from one site to another in a regular cycle timed
-to the changing seasons. We suspect, for example,
-that during the fall, families moved to camps on river
-terraces where they could gather acorns and other
-nuts for winter food and hunt deer. In the spring and
-summer, they may have moved to camps on streams,
-where they could fish and gather roots, berries and
-mussels. By coming back to their sites again and
-again over hundreds or thousands of years, a great
-deal of waste materials was deposited leaving evidence
-to be found by archaeologists.</p>
-<p>At present, only the barest outline of this culture is
-understood. Yet through study of their burial patterns,
-discarded food materials and many other
-aspects of the archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> they left behind,
-we can come to a much fuller understanding of their
-culture (<a href="#fig5">Figure 5</a>).</p>
-<h3 id="c7"><i>The Woodland Stage</i>
-<br />(<i>A.D. 1 to A.D. 800?</i>)</h3>
-<p>Throughout much of eastern North America we
-know that tremendous cultural changes occurred in
-the few centuries before and after the time of Christ.
-The society of simple hunters and gatherers in
-Archaic times gave way to a much more advanced
-type of society for reasons that are not entirely
-understood at present. We do know that Woodland
-stage peoples began building huge earthworks; sometimes
-as burial mounds, sometimes in the forms of
-animals such as snakes. From a social point of view,
-big changes occurred. We find the first evidence of
-social ranking in which a few powerful people were
-<span class="pb" id="Page_9">9</span>
-buried in mounds with great wealth and ceremony.
-In certain respects, this development was a clear
-step toward the eventual emergence of civilizations.
-We know that this kind of change has occurred
-independently in many parts of the world but we do
-not yet know why. It is clearly an important development
-with consequences for all human societies.</p>

-<p class="pcap">Fig. 5. Projectile points excavated from an Archaic stage <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> in the Richland project. Some of the stone from which these

-</div>
-<p>The Woodland stage also saw major technological
-advances. It was in this period that the bow
-and arrow, making of pottery (<a href="#fig6">Figure 6</a>) and agriculture
-(though this may have occurred during
-Archaic times, too) make their appearance.</p>
-<p>The interesting aspect of the project area is that
-some of these things (e.g., the bow and arrow and
-pottery) appear to have been adopted, but not
-others, including the settled village life, agriculture,
-earth works and social complexity of other prehistoric peoples to
-the east and north (e.g., the prehistoric Caddo Indians). In many ways, it appears that
-the relatively simpler life of Archaic times persisted,
-with a few items borrowed from more advanced
-outsiders. This pattern is one that deserves an
-explanation.</p>
-<h3 id="c8"><i>Neo-American Stage</i>
-<br />(<i>A.D. 800 to 1500</i>)</h3>
-<p>The Neo-American stage, also called the Mississippian
-stage in the eastern U.S., was the last
-<span class="pb" id="Page_10">10</span>
-prehistoric culture stage, and the one with the most
-complex culture. During this stage, large pyramid-shaped
-earthen mounds, complex ceremonialism,
-long-distance trade, heavy reliance on crops such as
-corn and squash, and a complex social order, with
-powerful chiefs at the top of the ranking system, all
-merged. The prehistoric Caddo Indians of East
-Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are an
-excellent example of this type of culture.</p>
-<div class="img" id="fig6">

-<p class="pcap">Fig. 6. Pieces of prehistoric earthen pottery (<a class="gloss" href="#g_Potsherds">potsherds</a>) that were made during the Neo-American cultural stage in the project.
-Note the different types of surface decorations.</p>
-</div>
-<p>Yet, for all of the vigor and influence of this type of
-culture, its influence was not felt to the same degree
-everywhere. In the project area, there are only a few
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> that suggest substantial contact with the most
-developed Neo-American cultures. In those cases
-we find certain kinds of prehistoric pottery vessels
-that, if not actually obtained from more culturally
-advanced peoples to the east and north, were
-modelled after ceramics of neighboring peoples.</p>
-<p>These facts raise many questions. Were the
-inhabitants of the project area during Neo-American
-times carrying on an older style of life, modelled
-economically after the earlier Archaic-type of economy?
-Were the resources available in the project
-insufficient to support a thoroughly agricultural type
-of economy? Equipped only with simple hand tools,
-only certain kinds of soils allowed agriculture by
-<span class="pb" id="Page_11">11</span>
-these ancient peoples. The tough prairie grasses, for
-example, would have made certain kinds of soils
-difficult, if not impossible to cultivate.</p>
-<div class="img" id="fig7">
-<img src="images/p05a.jpg" alt="" width="628" height="1000" />
-<p class="pcap">Fig. 7. This trench is one of those excavated in two &ldquo;Wylie
-focus&rdquo; pits discovered in the project. Since these
-prehistoric pits are about 100 feet in diameter, it is
-difficult to show their extent in a photograph. Much
-information on the age, construction sequence and
-content of the pits was gained from <a class="gloss" href="#g_TestTrenches">test trenches</a> such
-as this one.</p>
-</div>
-<p>There is also the question of environmental
-influences. We know that over a period of thousands
-of years the climate of Texas, in fact of all of North
-America, has changed a great deal. Part of the ongoing
-research in the RCAP is the study of past
-environments. Some of the most promising results
-here are from the fields of geology and palynology
-(the study of pollen records). Many people do not
-know that pollen from ancient plants may be preserved
-in the soil for thousands of years, and can be
-recovered with certain laboratory methods. If this
-pollen from past periods is found, it can help to
-understand the kinds of vegetation that were present
-at different points in time. The present evidence
-from the project is exciting. It suggests, for example,
-that a drought far worse than anything recorded in
-the history of Texas occurred sometime between
-A.D. 1000 to 1300. The severity of the drought may
-have caused prehistoric people to change their way
-of life, including abandoning the project area.</p>
-<p>Another major scientific discovery has been made
-in the project, and is dated to the Neo-American
-stage. For forty years archaeologists have known
-that an area on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River,
-north of Dallas, contained large, man-made pits
-dating to the Neo-American stage. These were
-called Wylie focus pits, after a system of classification
-of <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> used by archaeologists. These pits are
-truly large, some measuring up to 100 feet in
-diameter and up to 10 feet deep in the center (<a href="#fig7">Figure 7</a>).
-Moreover, these pits generally contain many
-human burials placed in the pit over a period of time.
-One pit even contained the skeleton of a young bear.
-All of these pits were excavated by hand with simple
-<span class="pb" id="Page_12">12</span>
-digging implements.</p>
-<p>During the Richland project&rsquo;s first season of work
-two of these pits were located and excavated. The
-discovery of these pits extended the known range of
-these unique cultural <a class="gloss" href="#g_Feature">features</a> over 100 miles from
-the region of their original occurrence.</p>
-<p>At present, it is unclear what prehistoric culture
-constructed these monumental works or what their
-function may have been. It is safe to say, however,
-that these kinds of <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> are unique to the north Texas
-area, and constitute a major point of archaeological interest. Work will be continuing on these sites in the
-next few years.</p>
-<h3 id="c9"><i>HISTORIC PAST</i></h3>
-<p>The archaeological story of people in this area
-during the last 150 years is no less exciting than its
-prehistoric counterpart. From the material remains,
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>, and structures that these people have left
-behind, we see a picture of the rapid taming of a
-frontier, its rural agricultural florescence at the turn
-of this century, and then its decline under adverse
-economic conditions. Much of the rural landscape
-still contains a significant percentage of early twentieth
-century structures in varying degrees of abandonment
-and preservation. The following sections
-briefly look at the archaeological record for the
-historic period in the RCAP area as we know it
-today. The archaeological record provides us with a
-tangible and materially rich picture of specific
-aspects of daily life. The record left behind by the
-area&rsquo;s past inhabitants provides much detailed information
-about their dwellings, farms, personal belongings,
-daily activities and lifeways. Although we
-have only begun to decipher the information, some
-results are already available from the 194 <a class="gloss" href="#g_HistoricSites">historic sites</a> tested
-and the several dozen individuals interviewed
-to date.</p>
-<p>Before entering into a discussion of the historic period, let us step back from the results and answer
-several major questions. What important and unique
-qualities emerge from the historic archaeological record for this area? Does the record tell us the same
-story that it would for other areas? What insight does
-the record provide that is distinct and unique to this
-part of Texas?</p>
-<p>Unfortunately, not much is available from other
-areas of the country for making comparisons to the
-study area, but from what is known a general picture
-can be formed. The rural communities in this area
-consisted mainly of farms from the mid-nineteenth
-century to the early twentieth century. The <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>
-representing these former farms indicate that lifeways
-were amazingly stable and relatively unaffected
-by influences coming from urban cultures.
-Since 1940, however, much of the distinctive culture
-of this rural area, unfortunately, has succumbed
-to the same urban American values found over other
-broad regions. The archaeological record suggests
-that before mass transportation and electricity entered
-the local scene, this area would have ranked
-among the richest of late nineteenth century areas in
-terms of local folk cultures and rural lifeways.
-Today, much of the rural culture has been lost. An
-objective of the Richland Creek Archaeological Project has been to record some of this information
-through interviews with senior residents over the
-next several years.</p>
-<p>Results of some of the work conducted in the
-study of past lifeways portray the area&rsquo;s past residents
-as a group of people who often made efficient
-and wise use of their local natural resources. This is
-illustrated in one aspect of their building construction.
-<span class="pb" id="Page_13">13</span>
-As bottomland forests were cut and less wood
-was available locally, many individuals adopted the
-practice of recycling major elements of older structures
-into new ones. <a href="#fig8">Figure 8</a> is an example of
-recycling older beams. Reuse of older structures
-underscores a keen awareness of optimizing local
-resources. Undoubtedly, other examples of the
-efficient use of local resources will emerge as
-structures and <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> are studied in greater detail.</p>

-<h3 id="c10"><i>A Look at the Past Through Material Remains</i></h3>
-<p>What can we expect to gain from looking at
-broken pieces of plates, bottles, animal bones,
-buttons, and window glass 50 or a 100 years old?
-Aren&rsquo;t museum collections and written histories
-adequate for providing information about rural life
-from 1870 to 1910? Unfortunately, there is a big
-difference between the type of information available
-through antiques, books, people, and <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a>.
-<span class="pb" id="Page_14">14</span>
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">Artifacts</a> represent fragments generally resulting
-from the discarding or breaking of common items.
-Most antiques represent whole items recognized as
-having some intrinsic value which afforded them
-greater care or curation and less utilitarian usage.
-Most artifacts, on the other hand, represent common
-household items or possessions that did not receive
-special care or handling. No fragments of elaborately
-cut crystal wine glasses were among the
-30,000 historic artifacts recovered from the project
-area, but fragments of inexpensive, undecorated
-tumblers were present. Similarly, only several dozen
-fragments of porcelain vessels were among the
-nearly 1,200 ceramic fragments excavated. Does
-this mean that cut wine glasses or porcelain cups
-were seldom available? No, more likely it represents
-a difference in handling and caring for these
-more expensive items. As an example, try counting
-the number of porcelain tablewares (plates, dishes,
-cups, etc.) in the household of an elderly person. In
-most cases, porcelain will be very frequent and often
-50 years old or even older. These items have been
-saved from common use and now serve decorative
-or very special functions. The point of this example
-is to emphasize that the items fifty or more years old
-in households or museums today are not representative
-of the items lying broken and scattered
-around <a class="gloss" href="#g_HistoricSites">historic sites</a>.</p>
-<p>Can the written record provide us with much of
-the information we need to know? The richness of
-the written record is not to be underrated. However,
-in many areas, the written record is not without its
-problems. Often objective details about daily activities
-or observations about common material possessions,
-farm layouts, folkways or folk technologies
-are hard to locate. Diaries, travelers&rsquo; accounts,
-and written histories, on the other hand, frequently
-provide interesting personal or anecdotal kinds of
-information. The position that archaeologists wish
-to emphasize is that we should not rely solely on the
-written record in an attempt to understand the past.
-The picture conveyed for a group of people from
-their <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> and material remains can be strikingly
-different from their own story told in writings. The
-archaeological record provides a direct and often
-objective source of information which is consistent
-over long periods of time. The record of your own
-life as revealed in the items you discard may be quite
-different than what you portray to others. This fact
-makes some aspects of the archaeological record
-both interesting and important for reconstructing
-past lifeways.</p>
-<p>These major points all contribute to the value of
-the archaeological record. For nineteenth century
-rural East-central Texas, written records, oral folk
-knowledge, and antiques leave much of the story
-untold. The <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a> of <a class="gloss" href="#g_HistoricSites">historic sites</a> in the
-proposed Reservoir area will begin to illuminate
-much of the former lifeways of these small rural
-agricultural communities. Without preserving some
-of this information, future generations will have little
-to study in order to probe the past of this nearly 100
-square miles. The displacement of people and the
-submergence of places and <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> so familiar today
-means oblivion for many former homesteads and
-communities. The task of the historic <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a>
-is to select and preserve important aspects of the
-past record so that this information is available to
-future generations.</p>

-<h3 id="c11"><i>Historic Settlement Along Richland and Chambers Creeks (1840-1940)</i></h3>
-<p>The first few permanent settlers came to this area
-soon after Texas declared its independence from
-Mexico in 1836. Settlement increased tremendously
-after Texas achieved statehood as families
-migrated westward. Most of these earliest settlers
-constructed log cabins for dwellings. About ten log
-cabin <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> possibly dating to the mid-nineteenth
-century have been located in the area. Overall,
-however, we see a picture of families with widely
-different resources facing the same rural frontier. On
-the upper end were relatively affluent frontier plantation
-owners, such as the Burlesons and Blackmons,
-who settled along Richland Creek, or the Ingrams
-along the Trinity River to the north. The location of
-these affluent households were similar. They were
-located well above the creek bottoms and in the
-vicinity of good cotton land. Even the crude plantation
-houses themselves were similar in that each
-presented an air of important social status. Through
-the architecture of these dwellings each owner
-presented a visual display of his personal wealth and
-social status. Although these houses were far less
-sophisticated than those found further east in Louisiana
-or Mississippi, they were the mark of status in
-this area. The Burleson plantation house is shown in
-Figures <a href="#fig9">9</a> and <a href="#fig10">10</a>. Compared to the simple, small,
-unpretentious log cabin shown in <a href="#fig11">Figure 11</a>, the
-crude frontier plantation house of East-central Texas
-fulfilled its social role as needed.</p>
-<p>In the reservoir area, the former <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> of several
-simple log cabins have been found. <a href="#fig12">Figure 12</a> shows
-the remains of one log cabin as found today. These
-sites indicate that life was orderly yet simple during
-the mid-nineteenth century. The settlers that came
-to this area were, for the most part, experienced in
-reading the land. The locations selected for each
-cabin were well above the bottomlands in order to
-avoid the danger of floods, but at the same time close
-to rich farmland and water. Fifty years later people
-were much less concerned about selecting the proper
-location for a dwelling. As a consequence, many
-log cabins have endured over a century of harsh
-weather and have outlasted more recent structures.</p>
-<p>By 1870, several dozen small communities,
-(Petty&rsquo;s Chapel, Birdston, Rush Creek, Wadeville,
-Pisgah Ridge, Rural Shade, Re, and Providence)
-dotted the landscape. The railroad penetrated the
-area in 1871 and brought about many changes in the
-area that have lasted until today. There was, however,
-a price to be paid for this modern convenience
-of trade and travel. For some of the small communities,
-the railroad brought financial death and
-abandonment. The archaeological record shows this
-pattern clearly. New communities seem to have
-grown up overnight (e.g., Richland, Navarro,
-Cheneyboro, Streetman, and Kerens) while others,
-which had been around for 30 or 40 years, deteriorated
-rapidly (e.g. Wadeville, Pisgah Ridge, Winkler,
-and Re).</p>
-<p>In addition to causing a shift in rural populations,
-the railroads also brought another major change.
-Prior to the railroads, these rural communities had
-become nearly self sufficient. The remains of a kiln
-for firing hand made bricks found in the project area
-stands as an example of rural folk industry (some
-fragments of glazed handmade bricks from the kiln
-are shown in <a href="#fig13">Figure 13</a>). Other craftsmen also may
-have been dispersed over this rural countryside. The
-shoe last (iron form used in shoe repair) found at one
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> suggests that a rural cobbler may have once
-stayed at the site (<a href="#fig14">Figure 14</a>). The railroads symbolized
-the start of a new era where mass produced
-goods, brick, lumber, shoes and commercial products
-could be transported cheaply into the area.
-Along with these goods came better living conditions
-and prosperity for many farmers and merchants.
-As a consequence some rural folk industries
-such as brick making disappeared and were replaced
-by commercial establishments. Even the need for a
-rural cobbler may have been eclipsed by the railroads.</p>

-<p>The archaeological record shows another effect

-(<a href="#fig16">Figure 16</a>), personal possessions and the like in the

-<p>The battle played locally between rural American
-lifeways and their urban counterparts may be inferred
-from a close look at the <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a>, structures, and
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a> these people have left behind. For example,
-the pattern of intensive yard use by families in this
-area remains unchanged until well into the twentieth
-century. Many fragments of pottery and glass lie
-scattered around these rural dwellings. In other
-more settled parts of the country, such as the
-northeast, rural farmers had shifted away from this
-pattern of intensive yard use toward a pattern
-reflecting commercial consumption. In the Reservoir
-area, swept dirt yards were still being used for
-various daily activities, from processing food to
-discarding refuse, while cosmetically treated and
-manicured lawns were being kept in New England,
-New York, and much of the mid-Atlantic region. In
-this regard, domestic life in much of East-central
-<span class="pb" id="Page_19">19</span>
-Texas had changed very little. In other parts of the
-country, <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a> reveals dramatic reorganization
-to keep pace with a society moving towards
-increased consumption and disposable material culture.
-Denser rural populations and a greater consumption
-of disposable material culture forced many
-communities to organize town dumps and mass
-collections to cope with the excess products. The
-Richland Creek area did not experience this transition
-until well into the twentieth century. Lower
-population density and a stronger tie to more
-traditional lifeways kept many aspects of rural life
-the same until the advent of better roads and
-electricity in the mid-1930s.</p>

-<p>The persistence of an unpretentious and traditional
-aspect of rural life in this area can be observed
-in the dwellings found throughout. The <i>Cumberland</i>
-and <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_HippedRoofBungalow">Hipped Roof Bungalows</a></i> found here reveal a

-and shows an early twentieth century log barn.</p>
-<p>Several other aspects of traditional Southern
-lifeways have been captured in the archaeological record. The
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> in the Richland Creek area indicate
-that foodways did not change as quickly in this area
-as in others. For example, the archaeological record
-suggests that home canning with commercial fruit
-canning (<a href="#fig20">Figure 20</a>) jars was slow to penetrate this
-<span class="pb" id="Page_20">20</span>

-regard, this area avoided the less desirable aspects
-of changing popular American culture and allowed
-local folk cultures to flourish. After the great depression

-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Archaeology">Archaeology</b></i> (also spelled <i>archeology</i>): In the United
-States, <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a> is taught and practiced as
-one of the four major subfields of anthropology (with
-anthropological linguistics, physical anthropology,
-and cultural anthropology). The aim of archaeology
-is the understanding of past human societies.
-Archaeologists not only attempt to discover and
-describe past cultures, but also to develop explanations
-for the development of cultures.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Archaeologist">Archaeologist</b></i>: Anyone with an interest in the aims
-and methods of <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a>. At a professional level,
-the <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a> usually holds a degree in anthropology,
-with a specialization in archaeology (see
-<i>Archaeology</i>). The professional archaeologist is one
-who is capable of collecting archaeological information
-in a proper scientific way, and interpreting
-that information in light of existing scientific theories
-and methods.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_ArchaeologicalSurvey">Archaeological Survey</b></i>: The <a class="gloss" href="#g_ArchaeologicalSurvey">archaeological survey</a>
-is a study intended to compile an inventory of archaeological remains within a given area. Usually a
-survey is an extensive rather than an intensive phase
-of archaeological study. The objective is to form the
-most complete and representative picture possible
-of the archaeological remains found within a defined
-area. Surveys may be based upon a wide variety of
-methods, including on-foot examinations of the
-ground surface, brief digging, talking with people
-who know where archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> are to be
-found, consulting historical records, and looking at
-satellite photos of an area.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_ArchaeologicalTesting">Archaeological Testing</b></i>: <a class="gloss" href="#g_ArchaeologicalTesting">Archaeological testing</a> involves
-carrying out limited-scale testing of archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> (see <i>Site</i>).
-Testing attempts to dig only
-enough to determine the extent, content and state of
-preservation within an archaeological site.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Artifact">Artifact</b></i>: Any object that shows evidence of modification
-by a human agency. Examples of <a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a>
-are spear points chipped from flint, animal bones
-burned during preparation of a meal, fragments of
-pottery vessels and coins. Whether ancient or
-recent, artifacts are the traces of human behavior,
-and therefore one of the prime categories of things
-studied by archaeologists (see also <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Context">Context</a></i>).</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_ConservationArchaeology">Conservation Archaeology</b></i>: A subfield of <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a>
-whose primary objective is informed management
-of archaeological remains and information.
-Working with private and public agencies, conservation archaeologists provide information that will
-allow archaeological properties and information to
-be effectively managed for the benefit of future
-generations. In this <a class="gloss" href="#g_Context">context</a>, archaeological values
-are a natural resource of the nation, to be wisely
-conserved for the future (see <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_CulturalResourceManagement">Cultural Resource Management</a></i>).</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Context">Context</b></i>, or <i>Archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Context">Context</a></i>: The setting
-from which archaeological objects (see <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">Artifacts</a></i>)
-are taken. Usually the meaning of archaeological objects cannot be discerned without information
-about their setting. One example is determining how
-old an object is, given that the age of objects
-<span class="pb" id="Page_25">25</span>
-excavated from a <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> varies with their depth in the
-ground. Unless the depth of an object is carefully
-recorded against a fixed point of reference, it may be
-impossible to relate objects to the dimension of time.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_CulturalResourceManagement">Cultural Resource Management</b></i>: Development of
-programs and policies aimed at conservation of
-archaeological properties and information. Such
-programs exist within the federal and state governments,
-academic institutions and private agencies.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_CumberlandDwelling">Cumberland Dwelling</b></i>: An architectural style named
-for its common occurrence throughout middle Tennessee.
-These dwellings have two front rooms of
-about equal size and front doors, with any additional
-rooms added onto the rear of the building.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_DataRecovery">Data Recovery</b></i>: In the <a class="gloss" href="#g_Context">context</a> of cultural resource management (see definition)
-studies, <a class="gloss" href="#g_DataRecovery">data recovery</a>
-refers to relatively large-scale excavation designed
-to remove important objects and information from
-an archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> prior to its planned destruction.
-Data recovery is only undertaken after it is
-shown that preservation of the site in place is not a
-feasible course of action in the project in question.
-Scientific data are recovered to answer important
-scientific and cultural questions.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Debitage">Debitage</b></i>: A term meaning the characteristic types
-of stone flakes produced from manufacture of prehistoric stone tools by chipping (as, for example,
-stone spear and arrow points). One of the most
-common types of prehistoric <a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a>, these distinctive
-flakes frequently alert the <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a> to the
-presence of a <a class="gloss" href="#g_PrehistoricSites">prehistoric site</a>.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Feature">Feature</b></i>, or <i>Archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Feature">Feature</a></i>: Many things of
-archaeological interest are portable, such as fragments
-of bone, pottery and stone tools. However,
-archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> frequently contain man-made
-things that are not portable, but are part of the earth
-itself. Examples of these features are hearths, foundations
-of buildings, storage pits, grave pits and
-canals.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_HippedRoofBungalow">Hipped Roof Bungalow</b></i>: These are square to rectangular
-dwellings with hipped gable roofs, one or
-two front doors and four to five rooms arranged in a
-modular design.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_HistoricSites">Historic Sites</b></i>: Archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> dating to the
-historic era, or after about the early seventeenth
-century in the project area. The distinguishing
-characteristic of this period is availability of written
-documents. This era extends from the earliest period
-mentioned in histories to the present.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Midden">Midden</b></i>: A word (adopted from the Danish language)
-meaning refuse heap. In many instances, one
-of the most apparent aspects of an archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> is
-&ldquo;<a class="gloss" href="#g_Midden">midden</a>&rdquo;, or a soil layer stained to a dark
-color by decomposition of organic refuse, and
-containing food bones, fragments of stone tools,
-charcoal, pieces of pottery or other discards. Archaeologists
-can learn a great deal about people&rsquo;s
-lifeways by studying their middens.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Potsherds">Potsherds</b></i> (or <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_Potsherds">sherds</a></i>): Pieces of ceramic vessels.
-Since the making of pottery did not begin in the
-project area until the first few centuries A.D., the
-presence of potsherds is a useful index of time. Also,
-the composition of the sherds and their decorative
-motifs are a highly useful way of detecting different
-<span class="pb" id="Page_26">26</span>
-prehistoric cultural groups, since manufacture and
-design of pottery varied with cultural groups.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_PrehistoricSites">Prehistoric Sites</b></i>: Archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">sites</a> (see <i>Site</i>)
-that date to a time prior to European contact (that is,
-before written history). In the project area that
-would be prior to the early seventeenth century.
-Prehistory is a relative concept, varying from one
-area to another, depending on the first intrusion of
-Americans or Europeans.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Profiles">Profiles</b></i>: Detailed maps of the walls of <a class="gloss" href="#g_TestPits">test pits</a> and
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_TestTrenches">test trenches</a> (see definitions). These are key records
-in understanding a <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a>&rsquo;s layers (<a class="gloss" href="#g_Stratigraphy">stratigraphy</a>) and
-distribution and age of <a class="gloss" href="#g_Artifact">artifacts</a>.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Site">Site</b></i>: A <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a>, or archaeological site, is the location of
-past human behavior. Sites vary tremendously in
-their size and content, ranging from cities to a few
-flakes of stone indicating the manufacture of a stone
-tool. As a relative concept, sites are defined in
-relation to specific research problems and needs.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_Stratigraphy">Stratigraphy</b></i>: A number of normal processes caused
-the earth&rsquo;s surface to be built up over time in layer-cake
-fashion. Sometimes this is caused by floods or
-wind-carried soil. In other cases it may result from
-people piling up refuse of one kind or another. The
-layering effect here is called <a class="gloss" href="#g_Stratigraphy">stratigraphy</a>, and is a
-major interpretive tool of the <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a>. Within
-a given stratigraphic sequence the most deeply
-buried layers are usually the oldest, and things found
-within a given level were usually from the same
-points in time. Stratigraphy is therefore a means of
-telling time (in a relative sense) for the archaeologist.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_TestPits">Test Pits</b></i>: Rectilinear pits dug during excavation of a
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> (see <i><a class="gloss" href="#g_ArchaeologicalTesting">Archaeological Testing</a></i>). The <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a>
-works with square or rectangular pits because
-they aid in keeping records of changes in soil types
-and other variables with depth. Extensive records,
-drawings and maps are kept of <a class="gloss" href="#g_TestPits">test pits</a>. The function
-of the <a class="gloss" href="#g_TestPits">test pit</a> is to provide a sample of a site&rsquo;s
-contents at a particular point.</p>
-<p class="tb"><i><b id="g_TestTrenches">Test Trenches</b></i>: Serving much the same function as a
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_TestPits">test pit</a>, the <a class="gloss" href="#g_TestTrenches">test trench</a> give a more continuous record
-of a <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a>&rsquo;s contents over a larger distance than a pit.
-Trenches are useful for tracing <a class="gloss" href="#g_Stratigraphy">stratigraphy</a> (see
-definition) over distance.</p>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_27">27</div>
-<h2 id="c13"><span class="small">APPENDIX I</span></h2>
-<p class="tb">There are several organizations that encourage
-interest and education in <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a> by members
-of the public. Some of these organizations are listed
-below.</p>
-<p class="tb">The first is the <i>Texas Archaeological Society,
-Center for Archaeological Research, University of
-Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78285</i>.
-This society is composed of avocational archaeologists
-from all walks of life. It holds an annual
-meeting in the fall during which members present
-papers on various aspects of Texas <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a>.
-Each summer the society also organizes a field
-school where members can participate in excavation
-of an archaeological <a class="gloss" href="#g_Site">site</a> under the supervision
-of a professional <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeologist">archaeologist</a>. The society
-also publishes a high-quality bulletin about Texas
-archaeology.</p>
-<p class="tb">Another organization that promotes <a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a>
-is the <i>Archaeological Institute of America</i>. This
-organization has its national headquarters in
-Washington, D.C., and schedules national lecture
-tours by archaeologists who visit local chapters in
-major cities. The lectures are offered six times a
-year, and present the results of archaeological investigations
-world-wide.</p>
-<p class="tb">In addition, local or county archaeological societies
-can be contacted for information about
-<a class="gloss" href="#g_Archaeology">archaeology</a> in Texas. If such an organization does
-not currently exist in your community, perhaps you
-could start one!</p>
-<p class="tb">Discovery of archaeological remains, particularly

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
