Archeological Reconnaissance Survey of Seguin Auxiliary Airfield, GuadalupeCounty, Texas

摘要

The reconnaissance level survey of Seguin Auxiliary Airfield, Guadalupe County,Texas, was conducted on May 18-19, 1993, in order to assess areas with a high potential for intact archeological sites. Nine hundred sixty-one acres were surveyed within the boundary of the base. One historic archeological site (41GU32), a homestead dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was identified as well as a historic isolated find consisting of a bottle glass base (41GU33) and prehistoric isolated find of one chert flake (L41GU1). Construction activities associated with the airfield have severely impacted any archeological resources present within the base boundaries as in the case of the homestead. Due to the lack of integrity and lack of uniqueness, the resources identified during the survey are considered as not eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Based on the initial assessment, the airfield appears to have an extremely low potential for archeological resources.
