building.
The Department has its own
special archaeological, section to
find and explore archaeological
sites before construction begins.
It was estaolished in July, 1970,
shortly after the Texas legisla-
ture passed the Antiquities Code
in 1969. The code establishes
strict rules for control of all
historical and archaeological tre-
asures in the State and makes
it unlawful for the Department
to build dr imporve a roadway
at an archaeological site.
"We want to find all the sites,
excavate them before an e w
highway is built and, at a,the
same time, recover artifacts un-
der .existing highways,” said
Frank Weir.
Weir, who organized the De-
partment's archaeological opera-
tions, and a small staff of train-
ed archaeologists assisted by
several Department employees
have surveyed more than 400
miles of right of way and exca-
vated nine sites since the section
was formed. ^7
Recent discoveries include, a n
Indian campsite near a highway
being constructed around Austin,
Indian campsitfes and burial sites
in West Texas and a Civil War
powder mill near Marshall-
- Probably the most significant
discovery has been the .original
architectural plans and specifica-
tionsvfqr the temporary Capitol
which burned in 1899.
The plans,* considered lost,
wdre found by Weir while doing
research in the archives branch
of the Texas; State Library.
"Through archaeology we are
able*to learn of achievements
and 'failures of those Who lived
in this land before us," Weir
said.
"Knowledge of the past is
essential to understanding the
present and interpreting the fu-
ture," he said. “Our findings
give us a deeper understanding
of how we came to be what we
are today and what the possibili-
ties’ ire for tomorrow."
