LYNN CREEK PARKWAY PROJECT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY
INTRODUCTION
During early January of 2008, AR Consultants, Inc. (ARC) conducted an intensive
pedestrian archaeological survey of approximately one mile of the proposed Lynn Creek
Parkway which is to be constructed by the City of Grand Prairie, Texas. The proposed
parkway begins at SH 360 and proceeds in an easterly direction and terminates at Lake
Ridge Parkway across from Lynn Creek Park (Figure 1). The archaeological survey was
done for Teague Nall and Perkins which is doing the environmental permitting for the
City of Grand Prairie. The purpose of the archaeological survey was to determine if
cultural materials were present, and, if so, make recommendations about their
significance and how they might be impacted.
The cultural resource investigation was required because the City of Grand Prairie is a
political entity of the State of Texas and Texas Antiquities Permit Number 4741 was
issued for the archaeological survey for that portion of the route on land owned by the
City. Approximately three-fourths of the proposed parkway route crosses property owned
by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Relevant federal legislation includes the National
Historic Preservation Policy Act of 1966, as amended (PL-96-515), the National
Environmental Act of 1969 (PL-90-190), the Archeological and Historical Preservation
Act of 1974, as amended (PL-93-291), the Clean Water Act, as amended PL92500 and
the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. The Archeology Division of the Texas Historical
Commission not only will review this report as the State Agency, but also as the Section
106 review agency.
This report is written in accordance with the guidelines for reports adopted by the
Archeology Division of the Texas Historical Commission, and developed by the Council
of Texas Archeologists (N.D.). The following report presents a brief description of the
natural setting of the project area, followed by a discussion of the cultural history of
North Central Texas. A chapter on the research design and methodology employed in the
investigation is then followed by the results of the field investigation. The report
concludes with recommendations followed by the references cited.AR CONSULTANTS, INC.
