Technical Proposal:
Proposed Baytown Nature Center Park Project
MAC PIN 99 -17
Introduction:
This document comprises a Technical Proposal concerning a cultural resource
investigation of the proposed Baytown Nature Center Park Project in the City of
Baytown, Harris County, Texas. The proposal has been prepared in response to a request
by the City of Baytown Parks & Recreation Department, Harris County, Texas. The
Project Area consists of a single tract of approximately 400 acres including the former
Brownwood Subdivision and adjacent tracts in the City of Baytown, eastern Harris
County, Texas. The proposed investigation is stipulated as a condition of a grant for park
development from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. While park improvements
to be constructed under this grant are Iimited in areal extent it is the objective of the City
of Baytown Parks & Recreation Department to achieve by this investigation a complete
cultural resource inventory and evaluation of the 400 -acre tract.
Upon Notice to Proceed, a records search and field survey of the project area will be
undertaken to achieve the following objectives:
1. Secure the required Texas Antiquities Permit for the
investigation.
2. Determine, by reference to the State of Texas archeological site
files at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at the
University of Texas at Austin, if there are additional recently
recorded archeological sites within the survey areas.
3. Locate (ifpossible) and re- evaluate all previously - recorded
archeological sites within the survey area.
4. Locate through field survey any previously unrecorded
archeological features or sites in the survey area.
5. A qualified architectural historian will conduct the research
necessary to provide the "Information Request: Identification of
Historic Properties" as specifically requested by the Texas
Historical Commission,
G. Prepare a draft report of survey investigations for review by the
City of Baytown Parks & Recreation Department and for review
by the Archeology Division, Texas Historical Commission.
7. Prepare a final report incorporating any changes requested by
the reviewing agencies.
Field Surve
The pedestrian cultural resources survey will cover 100% of the previously - unsurveyed
portions of the 400 -acre tract. The survey will be conducted by the Field Director and
three field assistants under the direct supervision of the Principal Investigator. It should
be noted that topography and archeological sites, and consequently appropriate
archeological survey methods, have been dramatically affected by conditions peculiar to
the Brownwood subdivision area. The source of these effects is the severe ground
surface subsidence due to oil and groundwater removal which affected this region in the
second half of the Twentieth Century. This surface subsidence has resulted in very
severe erosional disturbance to the prehistoric shell midden sites which lined the much -
diminished shorelines of the region. Added to the effects of shoreline erosion are those
of construction and demolition of the homes within the Brownwood Subdivision. This
subdivision, fully built out by the early 1960s, became uninhabitable by the 1980s due to
the effects of subsidence. This resulted in a buy -back and home demolition program
which has removed nearly all of the structures which once blanketed the subdivision.
Ground disturbance associated with this demolition program in some instances had much
greater consequence than the near - surface disturbance of building demolition as the
debris generated by the demolition of some of these homes was buried on -site. Moore
Archeological Consulting, Inc., has conducted a number of previous investigations within
the Brownwood tract and is thus very familiar with these local conditions.
Proximity to Scott, Crystal, and Burnet bays has been demonstrated to have been a
favored location for habitation during the prehistoric period; numerous sites proximal to
the these bays are on record within the state site files at the Texas Archeological
Research Laboratory. There are, in fact, 17 previously- recorded archeological sites
within the Project Area; these sites include 41HR45, 41HR172, 41HR173, 41HR174,
41HR175, 41HR229, 41HR230, 41HR231, 41HR232, 41HR233, 41HR234, 41HR235,
41HR237, 41HR618, 41HR617, 41HR619, and 41HR620. Most, if not all of these sites
can tentatively be presumed to have been severely impacted by shoreline erosion but this
presumption must be confirmed by records research and field examination.
This proposal must therefore make provisions for (1) the intensive level of field
investigation including numerous shovel tests which will be expected by the Texas
Historical Commission within undisturbed portions of the tract zone of high site
probability; (2) the possible identification of previously unrecorded sites in the course of
the survey; and, (3) the re- evaluation of previously - recorded archeological sites within
the tract.
All areas of exposed soil will be examined for surface exposure of cultural remains and
features. Particular attention will be paid to shoreline and upland margin portions of the
Project Area. Shovel testing will be. conducted in an attempt to identify buried
archeological deposits, features, and sites; small (30 cm2) shovel tests will be excavated
at 30 -m intervals within the project area. Shovel tests will be excavated in 10 -cm
arbitrary levels. Each positive test will be documented, including information on
location, soil profile and cultural yield. Soil fill from these tests will be screened (when
possible) through 1/4 inch hardware cloth and examined for cultural materials, and the
units will be backfilled immediately.
It is occasionally the case that shovel testing proves an ineffective survey technique due
to the presence and depth of a spoil mantle or other artificial fill present in the area of
investigation. A standard response to this situation is to employ a backhoe to cut through
the overlying mantle at a few selected sample localities. Should this prove to be the case
in the current project, then the costs of the backhoe operations are not included in this
proposal.
Many of the previously - recorded sites within the Project Area have been examined more
than once over the past 30 years. We will research these prior visitations, determine the
condition of the sites as of the most recent visitation, and re- examine the sites to confirm
the previous assessments as to their condition and significance. Re- evaluation of those
previously - recorded sites for which insufficient data on condition and significance exists
or for which the investigators have reason to disagree with prior assessments will be
subjected to more intensive field examination. This examination will include additional
surface examination as well as (if necessary) limited shovel testing. Given that there are
17 known sites within the Project Area this re- evaluation process is likely to be rather
time- consuming.
Any locality producing either prehistoric or historic cultural remains will be recorded on
current State of Texas archeological site forms and for submission to the State site files at
the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to form information, sites and features will
be documented by photographs, plan and stratigraphie sketches and measured drawings,
and crew members' daily field notes.
Investigation at any identified site or feature will seek to determine site boundaries,
depth, nature of the archeological deposits, and state of the site's state of preservation.
Historic building locations (if any) and all other cultural features will be mapped in plan
view and plotted with accuracy on USGS quadrangle maps and project maps (if
available). A preliminary attempt will be made to assess the State Archeological
Landmark and National Register of Historic Places eligibility of any cultural resource
sites located.
For buried or obscure sites, site or feature boundaries will be determined through a
combination of soil surface examination and shovel test excavation. Where necessary,
shovel tests will be dug at 10 -meter intervals radially along cardinal axes from the
presumed center of each site until no further artifacts arc encountered in two successive
units (or until the boundary of the survey area alignment is reached). The site boundary
on each radius will be presumed to lie between the last artifact - producing test and the
first sterile unit. Information on the depth and nature of the deposits will be derived from
shovel test results, as well as available surface observations.
! Analysis and Report Preparation.
Information gained from the cultural resources survey (including artifacts recovered, if
any) will next be analyzed. The services of a laboratory assistant and a drafting assistant
will be employed as required. An interim report on the results of the survey will be
presented to the Client immediately upon completion of field work. Formal draft and
final Texas Antiquities Reports will subsequently be provided in a timely fashion.
All materials collected and records generated will be prepared by Moore Archeological
Consulting for permanent curation at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory,
University of Texas at Austin.
