This Spring the Texas Historical Commission has elected me, Dan Young, as the Archeology Steward for Erath County. Each county has a volunteer steward whose duty is to assist the Texas Historical Commission promote the preservation and public understanding of the importance of archeology in their regions. Our goals are to: record new sites, educate the public, monitor known sites, mentor and motivate youth, seek protective designation and easements for important sites, assist in cultural resource projects, record private collections, carry out “salvage” archeology as directed by Archeology Division archeologists, form action teams, and serve as a local resource on archeological matters.
