Title:	Archaeology on State Highway 16: No-Name Creek Site: A Terrace Site of the Middle and Late Archaic Period in Gillespie County, Texas
Author:	Denton, Joe T.
Abstract:	No-Name Creek is a multicomponent site in a nonstratified context north of the town of Fredericksburg in Gillespie County, Texas. This site, where excavated, is purely Archaic and is of primary importance due to the unique artifact assemblage. The point types extant at the site suggest an evolution of one type to another.
Description:	During the month of July, 1973, representatives of the archaeological staff of the then named Texas Highway Department conducted a routine survey of the proposed widening of State Highway 16 north of Fredericksburg, Texas. Their reconnaissance located the site on the south side of a small stream one mile north of the town. It was upon their recommendations that testing and subsequent excavation were conducted under State Antiquities Permit No. 44. The excavation began October 18, 1973, and continued until November 6, 1973. This report is in accordance with Point Three of the Memorandum of Understanding, dated January 5, 1972, between the Texas Highway Department and the State Antiquities Committee and the Antiquities Code of Texas.
