My name is Theodore Kmiec and I am an Anthropology of Science Major and a Geography minor at Texas State University. In the spring of 2016, I conducted my internship at the Center of Archaeological Studies at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. I was an intern under Amy Reid, who is the Collections Manager and an archaeologist at CAS. In the presentation I will be talking about floatation, lithic analyses, and Amy Reid’s Spring Lake Archaeological Exhibit at the Meadows Center. My focus at the Center of Archaeological Studies was on the 2014 Spring Lake Recovery Project. The purpose of the Spring lake Recovery Project was to recover more data on the chronology at Spring Lake and to refine cultural time periods of habitation at Spring Lake. The Center of Archaeological Studies decided to build a website instead of writing a report for the Texas Historical Commission. The Center of Archaeological studies goal for the Spring Lake Recovery Project is to make this project more accessible to the Public and for future research.
