Tarrant County Archeological Society

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.
