It t is our determination that this portion of the site is not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Based on the results of the pedestrian archaeological survey and intensive shovel testing of the proposed Union Grove Water Supply Corporation Utilities project area, there is the absence of any archaeological sites in the project area that are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places or warrant designation as a State Archeological Landmark (SAL). Taken together with the extent of past disturbances in the project area, it is our recommendation that the proposed project will not have an effect on any sites worthy of designation as an SAL or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. Consequently, the proposed Union Grove Water Supply Corporation project should be allowed to proceed without further consultation under the Antiquities Code of Texas and the National Historic Preservation Act and their implementing regulations.

The ubiquity of ceramic vessel sherds from Caddo sites, as well as their diversity in decorative styles, methods of manufacture, surface treatment, fi ring, and chemical composition have proved useful in the acquisition of information on the stylistic and technological character of prehistoric and early historic Caddo ceramic assemblages. The study of Caddo ceramics has also provided crucial insights into chronological and temporal issues, social relationships, culinary traditions, the context of ceramic manufacture and production, and exchange/interaction between Caddo groups. In this issue, the majority of the articles are concerned with fully describing and placing on record the assemblages of Caddo ceramics found on Late Caddo (Frankston phase) and Historic Caddo (Allen phase) sites in the upper and middle Neches and Angelina River basins in Northeast Texas. This emphasis on post-A.D. 1400 Caddo plain and decorated ceramic wares has been occasioned by the recent study of a large assemblage of sherds and vessels from TxDOT-sponsored excavations at the Lang Pasture site (41AN38) on the upper Neches, and the opportunity as part of that study to reexamine sherd assemblages and vessels at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Austin, and in private collections, as part of a broader effort to defi ne an upper Neches River Caddo ceramic tradition (Perttula 2008). The issue also includes a study of pre-A.D. 900 Woodland period ceramics from the Browning site (41SM195A) in the upper Sabine River basin, and a summary of the Nasoni Caddo ceramics from Mission San Jose de los Nasonis (1716-1719, 1721-1730). This summary is based on a detailed analysis of the extensive Bill Young collections from the site.

Thanks to Jesse Todd for taking a look at images of the elbow pipes in the collection, and to Drs. Matt Peeples, Barbara Mills, David Snow, and Matthew C. Pailles for looking at the one Southwestern vessel from a Lamar County site in the collection. Lance Trask prepared a number of figures in this report, except for the Appendix I photographs taken by Matthew C. Pailles, and Bo Nelson took the artifact photographs. Lastly, we thank Dr. Don G. Wyckoff for the Italian dinner he invited us to while we were in Norman, Oklahoma.
