Paper abstract bibtex Archaeological and historical investigations were conducted for 13 historic and 5 prehistoric properties (see Volume I) in the Joe Pool Lake project area between October, 1984 and July, 1986 by the Archaeology Research Program, Institute for the Study of Earth and Man, Southern Methodist University. Joe Pool Lake will impound 7,400 acres along Mountain and Walnut Creeks in Dallas, Tarrant, Ellis, and Johnson Counties. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District constructed the lake to provide flood protection. An additional 5,100 acres of park lands will also provide recreation facilities for Dallas and Fort Worth. Historic archaeological investigations were conducted to mitigate adverse project impacts identified for 13 historic properties dating from the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and determined eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological and architectural studies were focused on 9 landowners' farmsteads and 4 tenant farmers' dwellings. Historic sites with mid-nineteenth century components included Loyd (41TR39), Anderson (41DL190), and Penn (41DL192). Late nineteenth century components were present at these 3 sites, as well as Lowe (41TR40), Reitz (41TR45), Marrs (41TR48), Holveck (41DL183), Pool (41DL191), Titterington Tenant (41DL267) and Titterington (41DL268). Sites with predominantly twentieth century occupations were Bowman (41TR42), Hintze (41DL181), and Hintze Tenant (41DL196). Investigations were focused on the archaeological features, sheet refuse, architecture, archival records, and oral information related to these 13 properties. This interdisciplinary research was focused on gathering detailed information on local settlement and traditional lifeways using the 13 sites as a data base. An explicit research design was formulated to focus all of these studies and to provide a framework for deriving important results. Most of the sites selected for study consisted of white landowners' farmstead complexes with above average landholdings and large layouts. Sheet refuse deposits common to rural Texas farmsteads were not as dense as those recently identified in other rural areas of North Central Texas. The large farmstead layouts have tended to disperse sheet middens across broad areas, making artifact densities light in any one spot. Root cellars and storm cellars were common; stonelined well shafts and frame granaries were also very common. Based on architectural investigations, horizontal log construction was not a common technique used on the North Central Texas Frontier. Instead, hewn and sawn timber frame buildings using mortise and tennon joinery was the dominant construction technique. The four tenant sites revealed smaller, but denser, sheet refuse middens and compact active yards. Brick was common on all sites and at the Anderson Plantation was used to construct a large, elaborate storm cellar. All farm tenant sites were occupied by white families based on oral information. No black or hispanic tenant sites were among the group of sites identified for receiving data recovery. General Land Office records provided a means of reconstructing the initial land divisions and the vegetation at the time of settlement. The archaeological and architectural resources of Joe Pool Lake contain information on the evolution of a rural agrarian area near to a major urban center. This Mountain Creek region is comparatively unique for North Central Texas in terms of its topographical and ecological setting. The Joe Pool Lake historical investigations provide an initial understanding of the rich history of this area and the long farming traditions that were pursued until the 1920s.
