Burned Rock Midden Sites on the Southwestern Edge of the Edwards Plateau, Texas

Thomas R. Hester

Abstract

Data from two groups of burned rock midden sites are presented. Occupation of the sites seems to have been heaviest during Archaic times, with some Late Prehistoric and possible Paleo-Indian components also recognized. A burial is described from one site. Problems pertaining to burned rock midden sites are briefly discussed.
