Pearce] became deeply concerned at the prospect of seeing many of the richest and most important archaeological sites in Texas inundated and lost to science for all time. He made application early in 1936 to the WPA authorities for approval of a project to explore as many of these sites as possible before they should be fully covered by water. The project was finally set up in January 1937, so that less than 6 months of the then current fiscal year was left in which to do the work which had been planned for the whole year. Some of this work was carried over into the present fiscal year, and that work is represented in the present report. At present Buchanan Lake has nearly filled with water, and all work in that basin has ceased. The map with Jackson's paper indicates that nearly all sites are near the mouths of creeks. This is due to the fact that the red floods of the Colorado render the River water undrinkable often for weeks on end, while the perennial small mountain streams are never muddy for longer than a few hours at a time. At the same time, the mussels, fish, bathing, and canoeing of the River kept the early inhabitants from living long away from them. undoubtedly much camp refuse, deposited near the River in periods of drought and low water was destroyed or carried away in floods, while that deposited on the high terraces or along the small streams accumulated uninterrupted through the centuries. The resulting middens often show archaeological stratification, as indicated in this report.
