This report presents the results of significance testing on 56 prehistoric cultural resource sites located in maneuver training areas at Fort Hood, Texas. This document has been prepared in compliance with Army Regulation 42-40 (Historic Preservation), as is required by the Fort Hood Historic Preservation Plan. Under contract to Fort Hood, the testing was conducted by TRC Mariah Associates, Inc. during 1994 and 1995.

These excavations discovered 88 prehistoric features including 44 burned rock middens, 24 hearths, five burned rock mounds, eight burned rock concentrations, three burials, two ash lens, and two occupation zones. The manual excavations removed 4,704 kg (5.8 tons) of burned rock and collected more than 58,000 artifacts and samples. These include 47,519 lithic debitage, 5,206 bone specimens, 2,361 samples, 949 bivalve shells, 883 lithic tools, and 216 projectiles points.
