Archaeological Survey of Areas Proposed for Modification in the Salado Creek Watershed, Bexar County, Texas
In late October, 1974, the Center for Archaeological Research of the University of Texas at San Antonio carried out an archaeological survey of the upper Salado Creek Watershed. Localities slated for the construction of 10 Soil Conservation Service floodwater retarding structures were examined, and 29 prehistoric and historic archaeological sites were found. These cultural resources are described and evaluated. Recommendations are provided for th…

Unlawfully entering the United States after a deportation is a felony.Remaining in the United States after the expiration of a visa is a felony.Passing a bad check when undocumented is an aggravated felony.Each punishable by at least one year in prison, these immigration-related crimes today constitute the leading cause of imprisonment in the federal penal system.Drug offenders, in other words, no longer constitute the majority of federal prisone…
The Late Archaic across the Borderlands
Why and when human societies shifted from nomadic hunting and gathering to settled agriculture engages the interest of scholars around the world. One of the most fruitful areas in which to study this issue is the North American Southwest, where Late Archaic inhabitants of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts of Mexico, Arizona, and New Mexico turned to farming while their counterparts in Trans-Pecos and South Texas continued to forage. By investiga…
The Native Americans of the Texas Edwards Plateau, 1582-1799
The region that now encompasses Central Texas and northern Coahuila, Mexico, was once inhabited by numerous Native hunter-gather groups whose identities and lifeways we are only now learning through archaeological discoveries and painstaking research into Spanish and French colonial records. From these key sources, Maria F. Wade has compiled this first comprehensive ethnohistory of the Native groups that inhabited the Texas Edwards Plateau and su…
Spouted Vessels and Cacao Use among the Preclassic Maya
Spouted vessels are diagnostic forms of Middle Preclassic (1000-400 B. C.) and Late Preclassic (400 B. C.-A. D. 250) Maya ceramic assemblages. Mayanists have traditionally called these vessels "chocolate pots," but until recently there has been little direct evidence to support this interpretation. In fact, few studies have focused on the role these specialized forms played in the daily social and ritual activities of the ancient Maya. This paper…
Chipped Stone Artefacts, Source Areas, and Provenance Studies of the Northern Belize Chert-bearing Zone
Preceramic Connections between Yucatan and the Caribbean
Archaeologists have long noted similarities between the lithic artifacts of the first colonists of the Greater Antilles (ca. 3500-2000 B.C.) and those from the eastern Yucatán Peninsula. Recent archaeological work in northern Belize has provided additional archaeological information on the characteristics and dating of the mainland assemblages. New findings by Caribbean archaeologists also have contributed to a clearer picture of the circumstance…
Paleoindian Geoarchaeology of the Southern High Plains
The Southern High Plains of northwestern Texas and eastern New Mexico are rich in Paleoindian archaeological sites, including such well-known ones as Clovis, Lubbock Lake, Plainview, and Midland. These sites have been extensively researched over decades, not only by archaeologists but also by geoscientists, whose studies of soils and stratigraphy have yielded important information about cultural chronology and paleoenvironments across the region.…
Medicine Mounds Ranch
Changes in federal legislation are challenging cultural resource managers studying Native American lifeways of the recent or distant past to document and evaluate a new class of properties-traditional cultural properties. As a class, however, traditional cultural properties are difficult to identify, and the arguments to verify their existence sometimes rely on lines of evidence not always employed by archaeologists or historians. This article fo…
Expanding the Role of Trace-Element Studies
The results of trace-element analysis of 200 prismatic blades from Colha, Belize, are reported. Questions concerning possible elite control and restriction of obsidian distribution, and the relative decline and increase of the El Chayal and Ixtepeque sources in varying functional contexts within lower- and upper-status areas are the primary focus of the study. Contrary to expectations, a high percentage (51%) of obsidian was assigned to the Ixtep…
Lithic Typology
Lithic Workshops Revisited
Moholy-Nagy (1990) has argued that concentrations of chipped-stone debitage from mesoamerican sites, including Colhá, Belize, represent dumps and not workshops as we have suggested (Shafer and Hester 1983, 1986). She emphasizes microdebitage as the most reliable indicator of workshop location. Her argument is supported by the use of ethnoarchaeological accounts of debitage deposition from stone- and glass-artifact manufacture. Our alternative vie…

Lithic craft specialization and product distribution at the Maya site of Colha, Belize
More than a decade of research has been conducted at the Maya site of Colha in northern Belize. These investigations have demonstrated that lithic craft specialization flourished there for perhaps two millennia. Archaeological evidence reveals that both utilitarian and non‐utilitarian tools were exported in large numbers to regional Maya consumers

Maya Stone-Tool Craft Specialization and Production at Colha, Belize
The definition and existence of specialized chert tool workshops and workshop deposits at Colha, Belize are addressed in this reply. Density estimates are provided for workshop deposits along with revised production estimates for the Late Preclassic Period. A pattern is beginning to emerge in the Maya lowlands with regards to communities of craft specialists; they appear to have been in settlements surrounding the larger centers, not in the major…
On the Misuse of Projectile Point Typology in Mesoamerica
Comments are offered on the inappropriate use of Texas-derived projectile point typology at certain Mesoamerican sites. Moholy-Nagy et al. (1984) recently applied labels to point groups from the Maya site of Tikal that are misleading in terms of the original type descriptions. Similar misuse of the Texas typology in central Mexico and in the Tehuacan Valley is noted

Exploitation of chert resources by the ancient Maya of northern Belize, Central America
The region of the Maya Lowlands that is now northern Belize has two major lithic resources that were utilized by prehistoric populations. The major resource is chert, restricted to a 500‐square kilometre zone. To the west and north, geologic faults have exposed outcroppings of chalcedony, a much poorer quality material, in this instance, for stone tool manufacture. The fine‐grained cherts were utilized as early as Paleo‐Indian and Archaic times, …
Relationships between Early Preclassic and Early Middle Preclassic Phases in Northern Belize
In a recent paper, Marcus (1983) provides a timely synthesis of the rapidly accumulating body of data from various projects in the Maya Lowlands. One of the specific problems discussed by Marcus is that of temporal and cultural definition of the Swasey phase at the sites of Cuello and Colha, and its relationship to other early components. Our comment presents new data from Colha that were not available to Marcus. These data have significantly exp…

Ancient Maya Chert Workshops in Northern Belize, Central America
Recent archaeological work at Colha and at other localities in the geographically restricted chert-bearing zone of northern Belize has revealed large-scale exploitation of chert for stone tool production. Workshops dated during the Late Preclassic period signal the beginning of craft specialization in chert working that continued in the Late Classic and into the Early Postclassic periods. Secular items such as large oval bifaces, tranchet bit too…

A History of Flint-Knapping Experimentation, 1838-1976 [and Comments and Reply]
The earliest experiments were conducted to discover how to produce chipped stone tools using nonmetallic knapping tools. By 1880, the major perceived problems were solved: ancient stone tools were made by direct stone percussion, later tools might be finished by pressure flaking with an antler tine, and flakes, since they could be duplicated by natural forces, should be accepted as man-made only when found in quantity and made to a pattern. In th…
Behavioral Analysis and the Structure of a Prehistoric Industry [and Comments and Reply]
Assuming that aboriginal behavior was recorded on chipped-stone implements and debitage, and assuming that the analyst can train himself to recognize and interpret that record, then a classification of lithic artifacts based on manufacturing behavior may be considered an inherent classification. Lithic behavioral classification is examined from the perspective of other archaeological classifications as well as from general taxonomic theory. Advan…

Tradition and Diversity among the Prehistoric Hunters and Gatherers of Southern Texas
Archaeological and ethnohistorical research has been greatly accelerated in southern Texas in the past five years. A new body of data obtained through extensive surveys, major excavations and intensified archival studies make possible a more detailed view of the area’s 11 ,000-year record of hunting and gathering lifeways. We can begin to replace the model of a widespread, homogenous prehistoric cultural pattern (and the early historic “Coahuilte…

An Assessment of Archaeological Resources in Portions of Starr County, Texas
Fifty-two archaeological sites in the vicinity of nine projects proposed by the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, in Starr County, Texas, are described and evaluated. It was determined that no further investigation need be made at 29 of these sites, whereas controlled collections and testing is necessary at 18 sites, and excavation is recommended at an additional five sites
Arrow Points or Knives? Comments on the Proposed Function of “Stockton Points”
In a recent paper, Nance has proposed that the serrated "Stockton Points" of central California were used as cutting implements rather than as arrow points. His sample comprised 10 specimens. Functional analyses of 87 additional examples (plus the examination of 2 specimens imbedded in human bone) are reported here and indicate that Nance’s hypothesis is incorrect. We argue the obvious point that very limited artifact samples are inadequate for g…

Some Aspects of Late Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archaeology in Southern Texas
This paper is concerned with the last several hundred years of the prehistoric period in the southern part of Texas. The earlier human occupation of this region, extending back perhaps 11,000 years, has been summarized elsewhere (Hester 197la). The Paleo-Indian period is represented by scattered surface finds of Clovis and Fol6om projectile points, and by a variety of "Late Paleo-Indian" point styles, such as Plainview, Scottsbluff, Golondrina, A…
