The Native Americans of South Texas

For the past three years, staff of the Center for Archaeological Research of the University of Texas at San Antonio has been conducting archaeological investigations along the upper reaches of the San Antonio River Basin found in Bexar County.  The project has provided a hitherto unequalled opportunity to learn about the history and prehistory of human occupation along this stretch of the river.  Archaeological sites and cultural materials recovered during the excavations ranges from 10,800 years before the present to 500 years old.  The materials illustrate a lengthy and diverse occupation of the river which served as a magnet to humans from over 10,000 years.  The talk will bring together the results of these projects to weave an updated history of human occupation along San Antonio’s Ancient River-Walk.
