HUCK FINN TRAIL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY
ABSTRACT
A cultural resources survey was conducted of the proposed Huck Finn
Trail for the City of Richardson in August, 2004 by AR Consultants, Inc.
The 3,750 foot trail route is to be placed east of Prairie Creek and west of
Prairie Creek Drive East. Prairie Creek is a first-order drainage and is
mapped as being intermittent. A records check revealed no recorded
historic or prehistoric sites in the area which is situated on the edge of the
prairie uplands. The area is within the Blackland Prairie and is an area
which has proven to lack prehistoric sites in general.
A pedestrian survey of the study area failed to locate any evidence of
historic or prehistoric occupation. Shovel testing revealed no evidence of
buried cultural deposits, or the likelihood of finding such deposits. It is our
conclusion, that the potential for archaeological sites in this area along
Prairie Creek is very low. This concurs with findings in adjacent parts of
the prairie in Collin, Denton, and Dallas Counties.
AR Consultants, Inc. recommends that no further archaeological
investigations are warranted in the study area. If cultural materials are
encountered during construction, work should stop in that area and the
Archeology Division of the Texas Historical Commission should be
notified immediately.AR CONSULTANTS, INC.
