Excavations at the Cottonfield site - Tait Ranch, Columbus

As most of you know, the TAS Field School in Columbus, Texas, in June was shortened due to heavy rains from Tropical Storm Bill. However, Dr. Jason Barrett, the field school PI, was able to work with our wonderful landowners, Rita and Ed Jackson, to leave the Cotton Field site open for further excavation by members of HAS and other regional archeological societies. The Cotton Field site, located in Colorado County, offers the ideal conditions for studying the Late Prehistoric period, spanning both the Austin phase (ca. 700AD-1200AD) and the subsequent Toyah phase (1150AD-1500AD) in Texas.
