River Basin Surveys Papers, No. 21: Excavations at Texarkana Reservoir, Sulphur River, Texas

During the period April 28 to June 25, 1952, limited archeological excavations were carried on at three sites now inundated by the Texarkana Reservoir-the Knight's Bluff, Snipes, and Sherwin sites in Cass County, Tex. This project was part of the nationwide archeological salvage program of the River Basin Surveys, administered by the Smithsonian Institution in cooperation with the National Park Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Bureau of Reclamation. The excavations at Texarkana were under the immediate supervision of the writer, who was ably assisted in the field by Ensor. Miller, Edward H. Moorman, and Adolph H. Witte, all three of
whom served as foremen and assistant archeologists.
