WELCOME
TO THE
Tarrant County Archeological Society
WEB SITE.
WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE
WHO WE ARE... TCAS is one of the most active archeological societies in Texas. The Tarrant County Archeological Society
is an active part of the Texas Archeological Society. Our membership
represents a wide variety of archeological backgrounds and interests: from Paleo to
Historic; Texas to the Southwest to the World;
from Archeologists to Avocationals to people simply looking for more information
about archeology.
Our members have served and continue to serve in leadership positions with TAS.
Large numbers of our members attend the annual TAS Field School each summer and
the TAS annual meeting each fall. In October 2011, TCAS was host to the 82nd tas
annual meeting.
Our monthly TCAS meetings, the second Thursday of each month, include a wide
array of speakers and topics. we have learned more about
the Astronomical Features at Paint Rock, Origins of Village Life and Farming
Economies in the Near East, the Newest Findings at Little Big Horn, and Mimbres
Cosmology by such noted archeologists and writers as Bill Yeates, Dr. Benjamin
Arbuckle, Michael Donahue, and Dr. Harry Shafer.
We are also very active "in the field" with
several ongoing projects. We try to have excavation, survey, and/or artifact
identification projects on a monthly basis, of course, depending on weather.
We invite you to attend a monthly meeting. Directions and a map are available on
the "Map" page of this site. If you're looking for more information on Texas
Archeology, please check our "Links" page. Or, if you're just curious, please
request more information using the link below. We hope to see you at one of the
meetings!
