An archaeological survey for the proposed Lakeway Drive extension project in Central Brazos County, Texas

An archaeological survey for the proposed Lakeway road was conducted by Brazos Valley Research Associates (BVRA) on August 27 and 28, 2015. The Area of Potential Effect (APE) traverses cross-country and crosses Lick Creek and Spring Creek. The survey consisted of a surface inspection and shovel testing and probing. Parts of the APE are wooded with a dense understory that made digging shovel tests in areas free of roots virtually impossible. The pre-survey research found that there are no previously recorded sites in the APE and that the area had not been examined at any time by a professional archaeologist. No prehistoric or historic sites were identified and recorded and no artifacts were collected. It is recommended that the City of College Station be allowed to proceed with construction as planned. Copies of the final report are on file at the Texas Historical Commission (THC); Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL), Texas State Library, CME Testing and Engineering, Inc., BVRA, the City of College Station, and various libraries and repositories as required by the antiquities permit. The APE is 25.3 acres in size. The Antiquities Permit issued for this project is 7396
