Section 110 Survey and Evaluation of 193 Previously Recorded Archaeological Sites at Wallisville Reservoir, Chambers and Liberty Counties, Texas

Between November 2, 2009 and May 20, 2010, Brockington and Associates reevaluated 193 previously recorded archaeological sites in Wallisville Reservoir area. The project area includes 9,966 acres within federally owned (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District) Wallisville Reservoir, which includes 6,875 acres in Chambers County and 3,091 acres in Liberty County, Texas. This project was conducted under Contract No. W912P9-09-D-0537 with the St. Louis District, Corps of Engineers (Corps) as part of an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) program enacted by Congress in 2009. This archaeological study included site revisits and delineation, assessment of disturbance and site integrity, preliminary assessment of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility, and management recommendations. In all, this project resulted in the revisit of 157 previously recorded archaeological sites and identification of five previously unrecorded sites. Twenty-three of these are listed or eligible for the NRHP, 23 are recommended potentially eligible, 8 sites are unknown eligibility, and 108 are recommended ineligible. This ARRA-funded task order employed 25 specialists for a period of 18 months.
