Special issue of the annual journal of the Texas Archeological Society providing an introduction to field practices, meant to assist amateur archeologists in their research. It is broken into two main parts: the first provides historical information to each region in Texas and the second describes common archeological finds (such as pottery shards and arrowheads). It includes a glossary (p. 529) as well as regular annual publication information at the end, such as the annual meeting notes, membership list, and tables of contents for all printed volumes 1-25 (p. 575).
