LAWERENCE OAKS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The State Agency for Historic Preservation October 30, 2001 Suzan C. Taylor CIP Coordinator P. O. Box 478 Coppell, TX 75019 Re: Project review under the Antiquities Code of Texas, Proposed Sandy Lake Road Project, Survey Needed (City of Coppell) Dear Ms. Taylor: Thank you for your correspondence concerning the above referenced project. This letter presents the comments of the Executive Director of the Texas Historical Commission, the state agency responsible for administering the Antiquities Code of Texas. We have recently reviewed your letter concerning for the above referenced road expansion project, and while we do not object to the project, a potentially important archeological site has been recorded very close to the city's right-of-way. Therefore, the proposed road expansion area for this project must be surveyed by a professional archeologist prior to site development. This cultural resource survey should include a 100% pedestrian survey of the entire tract that conforms to the "Archeological Survey Standards for Texas" (copy enclosed), and mechanical testing at the spot adjacent to the recorded site and at 100 meter intervals along the entire right-of-way, is also warranted as part of the scope-of-work for these investigations. Your archeological principal investigator must contact us to obtain an Antiquities Permit for these investigations, and a report on the investigations will have to be produced in conformance with the report standards under the Chapter 26 Rules of the Antiquities Code of Texas. You can obtain a list of professional archeologists from the Council of Texas Archeologists web site, at: http://www.c-tx-arch.org/Contractor/CTA CL Frame.html. Please note that not every archeologist on the list is qualified to conduct all classes of archeological research, and that other qualified archeologists not included on this list may be used. We look forward to further consultation with your office and hope to maintain a partnership that will foster effective historic preservation. Thank you for your cooperation in this state review process, and for your efforts to preserve the irreplaceable heritage of Texas. If you have any questions, please contact Mark H. Denton, of our staff at (512) 463-5711. Sincerely, for F. Lawerence Oaks Executive Director Enclosure: Permit Application Form, CTA Contractors List and Survey Standards P.O.

The standards identify the least amount of work that will be considered acceptable for intensive archeological surveys of areas 200 acres or less. These standards are not intended to limit additional work (i.e., more shovel tests or backhoe trenches) that may be deemed necessary to identify archeological sites on the basis of the Area of Potential Effect, anticipated impacts, or the likelihood of encoun- tering significant cultural resources. Survey methodologies for project areas larger than 200 acres should be discussed with the Archeology Division prior to implementing the survey. MINIMUM SURVEY STANDARDS for Project Areas of 200 Acres or Less Transect Interval1 30 m Project Area Size Shovel Tests/Acre Shovel Tests/Acre 2 1-10 acres 1/acre 10-100 acres 1/2 acres 100-200 acres 1/3 acres No. of Shovel Tests to Define Site Boundaries 3 6 Average Rate of Survey (Acres/Person/Day) 20 Backhoe Trenches/3 Acres 4 1 1 Transect intervals should be reduced to 15 m in far West Texas (from the Pecos River west to El Paso). 2 Shovel tests must be dug whenever vegetation obscures surface visibility (except on slopes greater than 20%). Much of the eastern half of Texas is covered with vegetation, requiring shovel tests, whereas much of the western half has good ground surface visibility. However, any area in the state that has less than 30% ground surface visibility requires shovel tests. 3 Shovel tests are only necessary to define boundaries on sites with less than 30% ground surface visibility. 4 Backhoe trenches are required in alluvial settings in addition to shovel tests (trenches are estimated to have a length of 5 m).

INTRODUGTION TO THE COUNCIL OF TEXAS ARCHEOLOGISTS The Council of Texas Archeologists (CTA) was formed in 1979 for the purpose of maintaining and promoting the goals of professional archeology throughout the state. CTA is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of cultural resources in Texas. Membership is open to professionals, students, and institutions with vocational involvement in Texas archeology, who subscribe to the goals of the Council, and who remain in good standing by the payment of dues. CTA Contractors List The following list is composed of individuals, firms, and institutions who are members in good standing with the Council of Texas Archeologists and who contract to conduct cultural resources investigations within the state of Texas. The Archeological Contractors List is updated twice yearly, 30 days following each CTA meeting. Listing in the directory is voluntary and is not inclusive of all archeologists who are available for contracting. The entities listed have paid a fee to be placed in the CTA Contractors List, and have also paid CTA membership dues for the Cultural Resources Director (CRD). When contracting with an archeologist, it is recommended that more than one estimate be obtained as project costs may vary considerably between organizations. Inclusion in this directory does not guarantee the standards of quality of services performed by a contractor, nor that contract work will be executed in compliance with federal or state guidelines. Not all CTA members may qualify to conduct archeological investigations as required under state or federal statutes. On the other hand, there may well be individuals or organizations in Texas and elsewhere who are qualified to provide professional archeological services, but who are not members of CTA. Equal consideration should be given to all individuals or organizations, irrespective of their membership in the Council. This list, compiled by CTA, is distributed by the Texas Historical Commission, P.O. Box 12276, Austin, Texas, 78711, as a public service to the Council, to archeological contractors, and to project sponsors. The Contractors List is available on the Internet at the CTA web site: www. c-tx-arch.org/ContractorlCTA_CL_F rame.htm I Each entry is listed alphabetically by the name of the organization or individual, followed by the name of the Cultural Resources Director, address, and phone number. Brief overviews, no longer than 100 words in length, were submitted by each contractor and are included with each listing. ARCHEOLOGICAL COMPLIANCE The Archeology Division of the Texas Historical Commission oversees compliance with state and federal archeological regulations. While archeologists in the state of Texas are not required to be licensed or certified, they must meet certain project-specific regulatory requirements. An overview of legal requirements, project review procedures, and cost considerations related to archeological compliance is presented in the Texas Historical Commission's Texas Preservation Guidelines Series, Compliance with Laws to Protect Historical and Archeological Sites: A User's Guide for Project Sponsors, by James E. Bruseth. The definition and requirements of a principal investigator, as defined by that document, are as follows: · The archeologist responsible for fulfilling contractual obligations is referred to as the "Principal Investigator" (PI). · Principal Investigators employed by archeological contractors hired to conduct archeological investigations on public lands in Texas, including state, city, county, and political subdivision tracta, or State Archeological Landmarks, Designated Historic Districts, or recorded archeological sites, must meet qualifications specified in the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the Antiquities Code of Texas. · Principal Investigators employed by archeological contractors hired to conduct investigations for projects that are permitted, licensed, approved, or funded by the federal government or conducted under the National Historic Preservation Act must meet qualifications specified in Secretary ofthe interior's Standards and Guidelines. · Principal Investigators are required by state law to obtain an Antiquities Permit from the Archeology Division, Texas Historical Commission, prior to conducting an investigation on state lands. · In addition to meeting professional qualifications, Principal Investigators muat also meet requiramenta to be eligible to obtain the Antiquities Permit.
