An archaeological reconnaissance of the Palafox mining area, Webb County, southern Texas
No full textIn November 1978, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas at San Antonio, contracted with Farco Mining Company of Ft. Smith, Arkansas to perform an archaeological reconnaissance of its Palafox mining area in northwest Webb County, Texas. Since mineral rights to the mining area are owned by the State of Texas, an archaeological survey was required as part of the preparation of an environmental impact statement. The survey zone was divided into two sections where there was the possibility of future mining activity: (1) the Farco Mining Operations Area and Disturbed Area, and (2) parts of the Palafox Historic District. The project was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Thomas R. Hester, Director, and Jack D. Eaton, Assistant Director, Center for Archaeological Research. The field work was conducted by Thomas C. Kelly and D. William Day.Farco Mining Company (Ft. Smith, Arkansas

No full textDuring October and November 1976, the Center for Archaeological Research of The University of Texas at San Antonio carried out an archaeological survey of the Radium Springs area in southern New Mexico (Fig. 1). This survey was conducted under the terms of a contract (YA-5l2-RFP6-80) between the Center and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Dr. Thomas R. Hester, Director of the Center, was Project Administrator, and Dr. Joel D. Gunn and Dr. Paul R. Katz served as Principal Investigators. Fieldwork was under the supervision of Dr. Gunn, with direct field responsibilities handled by Col. Thomas C. Kelly, Research Associate of the Center. Contract Officer for the BLM was Richard Meninger (Denver), and the Contract Officer\u27s Authorized Representative was Karen L. Way (Las Cruces)
Archaeological research at the Hinojosa site (41 JW 8), Jim Wells County, southern Texas
No full textIn March 1975, personnel of the Center for Archaeological Research conducted an intensive survey of site 41 JW 8 (the Hinojosa site), Jim Wells County, in southern Texas. These investigations were the result of an agreement between the Center and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service (SCS) (purchase order no. TX-l102-75). Earlier research at the site had consisted of a preliminary surface survey, the results of which were published by Hester and Bass (1974). In their report, recommendations were made for an intensive survey of the site, to include site mapping, intensive surface collecting, and test excavations. A major objective of this program of investigation was to better evaluate the site in terms of its potential eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (it was nominated by the State Review Board on January 23, 1976; letter from John W. Clark, Jr. to T. R. Hester). It was not known at that time whether the site would be affected by the construction and subsequent impoundment of waters related to proposed Floodwater Retarding Structure No. 5 (Revised) to be built downstream on Chiltipin Creek (Hester and Bass 1974:1-2). Thus, during the period of March 13-19, 1975, a field team directed by Feris A. Bass, Jr. (Research Associate of the Center) conducted archaeological studies at the site. Following the conclusion of the fieldwork, a preliminary report was submitted to the SCS office in Temple, Texas (letter from T. R. Hester to Logan Crews, April 22, 1975).Soil Conservation Service (United States Department of Agriculture

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

The Texas Archaic: A Symposium
No full textThe papers published in this volume were presented at a symposium entitled "The Texas Archaic" held in San Antonio on November 2, 1975, during the annual meeting of the Texas Archeological Society. Of those papers delivered during this symposium, only one, "Archaic Diets and Food Economies" (by V. M. Bryant, Jr.), is not presently available for publication. The present format has been utilized to insure rapid and economical publication of the symposium papers. The papers are primarily status reports, describing the current state of regional knowledge of the Archaic or dealing with specific aspects of the Archaic lifeway. As such, they are primarily designed to stimulate discussion and future research. They provide professional archaeologists interested in Texas archaeology with data and interpretations more recent than those contained in the Introductory Handbook on Texas Archeology (Suhm, Krieger and Jelks 1954) and the subsequent review of Texas archaeology published as volume 29 of the Bulletin of the Texas Archeological Society (1958). It is also hoped that these papers will help to introduce the growing number of amateur archaeologists in Texas to the many problems of the State's prehistory still remaining to be solved. It will take the concerted and collaborative efforts of both professionals and amateurs to come up with the solutions. Thomas R. Hester, Director, Center for Archaeological ResearchTexas Archeological Societ
