TxDOT Archeology Webinar

In the small town of Frankston, Texas, the construction plans for a road project uncovered a 500 year old Caddo village that had been previously forgotten on current maps. Join us to learn about how TxDOT Archeology “re-discovered” the lost the archeological site by digging into archival records. TxDOT’s excavations also uncovered unique artifacts that date the Caddo’s interaction with European explorers further back in time than what was previously documented. Join our webinar and find out what this could mean about our understanding of Caddo culture and Texas History.

In this Roadside Chat, archeologists will also give you a sneak preview into upcoming work in the field. Your input will help us map out how to preserve archeological stories in Austin County, Colorado County and Newton County.
