Description
"The Gatlin Site, A Unique Early Archaic to Late Archaic Archeological Site In Central Texas". Steve Stoutamire will take us on an overview. The site was accidentally discovered by TXDOT road crews in 2004 while constructing the Spur 98 connect to Thompson Drive on the south side of the Guadalupe River just west of Kerrville. Construction was halted and a professional archeology company from Austin was called in, subsequently performing 4 months of excavations within the right of way. Analysis of all site materials and data was then worked for 4 years by teams of professional archeologists, Paleo-botanist, zooarcheologists, etc. These findings were significant and established the site as one of the most significant finds in Central Texas within the last 20 years.
