During May-July 1999, personnel from Prewitt and Associates, Inc., conducted a re-location survey of 44 previously recorded sites at Waco Lake in McLennan County, Texas. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, sponsored the project as a result of proposed plans to raise the conservation pool level of the lake by 7 ft. The purposes of the study were to re-locate the 44 sites and assess their current conditions, to rerecord them, and to reassess the eligibility of each site for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Two sites with prehistoric components are recommended as being eligible for listing in the National Register, while 14 are considered ineligible: The remaining 14 sites with prehistoric components are of unknown eligibility, with additional testing required before a determination can be made. Seven of these sites appear to be the best candidates for further work based on their elevations and the impacts anticipated as a result of raising the lake level. Four sites with historic components are of unknown eligibility, pending additional field investigations and/or archival research; 2 of these appear to be the best candidates for further work based on their elevations and the anticipated impacts. The remaining 12 sites with historic components are considered ineligible for the National Register. |
