Paper abstract bibtex An archaeological survey of the 66 acres (26.7 ha) enclosing the historic DeGolyer Estate and Arboretum, Dallas, Texas was undertaken by Southern Methodist University's Archaeology Research Program in 1988 and 1989. The survey was conducted in two phases for the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department under Texas Antiquities Permit Number 693. The fieldwork was carried out in order to locate and evaluate archaeological resources within the park that might be impacted by future construction and land alteration under the 1987 Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden Master Development Plan. The DeGolyer Estate is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its architectural qualities and for its historical associations with Everette Lee DeGolyer (1886-1956), a prominent businessman and petroleum geologist. A review of the archaeological literature, existing site records, and pertinent historical documents identified no archaeological properties within the 66 acre (26.7 ha) tract. Fieldwork included systematic surface reconnaissance, shovel testing, and an evaluation of backhoe trenches. Nine backhoe trenches and 236 shovel test units were excavated. The pedestrian reconnaissance and systematic shovel testing program resulted in the discovery of three Historic period sites, four Historic period localities and four isolated finds of Historic period artifacts ranging in age from approximately 1870 to the mid-twentieth century. No evidence of prehistoric sites or isolated prehistoric remains (i.e., stone flakes, fire-cracked rock, etc.) were encountered. None of the historic archaeological sites, localities or isolated finds are regarded as potentially significant due to their poor integrity, insignificant historical context, or low potential to yield important information. Consequently, these findings indicate that the Arboretum does not contain any archaeological resources considered potentially significant or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, and development under the Master Development Plan may proceed.
