TIMBER CREEK TRAIL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY
ABSTRACT
A cultural resources survey was conducted for the City of Lewisville of
7,940 feet of proposed trail route by AR Consultants, Inc. in December,
2003. A records check revealed no recorded historic or prehistoric sites in
the area which is on the edge of the Eastern Cross Timbers near the
Blackland Prairie.
A pedestrian survey of the proposed route which is mostly in Timber
Creek's floodplain failed to locate any evidence of historic or prehistoric
occupation on the ground surface or in the banks of Timber Creek or its
tributaries. Likewise, shovel testing uncovered no evidence of buried
cultural deposits, or the likelihood of finding such deposits. It is our
conclusion, that the potential for archaeological sites in this area along
Timber Creek is very low.
AR Consultants, Inc. recommends that further archaeological
investigations are unwarranted in conjunction with construction of the
Timber Creek Trail. If buried cultural materials are encountered during
development of the tract, work should stop in that area and the Archeology
Division of the Texas Historical Commission should be notified
immediately.AR CONSULTANTS, INC.
