Abstract
The Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL) at The University of Texas at Austin conducted a partial magnetometer survey of The Archaeological Conservancy-owned portion of the A. C. Saunders site (41AN19) during the period between 6-8 December 2005. This survey was sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation Environmental Affairs Division (TxDOT/ENV) due to a proposed expansion of the right-of-way of U.S. Highway 175 and was conducted under a research design approved by The Archeological Conservancy and TxDOT/ENV. The work was conducted under the direction of Dale Hudler (Principal Investigator) from TARL with a joint TARL/Prewitt and Associates, Inc. field crew (Jonathan Jarvis, TARL and Tim Griffith, Prewitt and Associates, Inc.).
Highlights
The Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL) at The University of Texas at Austin conducted a partial magnetometer survey of The Archaeological Conservancy-owned portion of the A
Collection in this area was degraded by the magnetic effect of the barbed wire fence bounding the southern edge of the site and by uneven towing speed
The metal in the fence produced a large induced magnetic field that shows in the collection as the low end of a dipole magnet
Summary
The Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL) at The University of Texas at Austin conducted a partial magnetometer survey of The Archaeological Conservancy-owned portion of the A. Locations within the collection areas that have no grayscale displayed (blank) are the result of very high/low readings being deleted during despiking. Collection in this area was degraded by the magnetic effect of the barbed wire fence bounding the southern edge of the site and by uneven towing speed.
