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

These minimum survey standards have been developed by the Archeology Division of the Texas
Historical Commission in consultation with the Council of Texas Archeologists. 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.
Permit applications should be submitted at least one month prior to the proposed
beginning date of the project.
Complete copies of federal and state qualifications for Principal Investigators are available
