XX [From the abstract] During 1977 West Texas State University conducted archeological investigations at the proposed Bateman Pumping Station, Bateman to Truscott pipeline, and Truscott Brine Lake in Salt Source Areas VI Il and X of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wichita River Chloride Control Project in King and Knox counties , Texas. The eastward-flowing Wichita River drainage in northcentral Texas crosses a land of moderate relief developed on widely eroded Permian redbeds mantled in places with thin Quaternary deposits. The project area is in the Rolling Plains physiographic region and the Mesquite Plains biotic district. It is a seemingly inhospitable region of extreme temperatures, low rainfall, and generally saline groundwater, with mesquite and juniper the main vegetation. A total of 76 sites (67 archeological, 3 historical, and 6 paleontological) were recorded and investigated in and around the project area. No sites were found at the Bateman Pumping Station. Ten sites (9 archeological and 1 paleontological) were found along the pipeline. The 9 archeological sites were investigated by general collecting. Fifty-one sites (47 archeological, 2 historical, and 2 paleontological) were found in the Truscott Reservoir area. Of the 47 archeological sites, 36 were general-collected, 4 were control-collected, and 7 were tested. Of the 2 historical sites, 1 (a stone-walled half-dugout) was excavated and 1 (a rock fence) was merely recorded. Fifteen sites (11 archeological, 1 historical, and 3 paleontological) outside of the project area were visited. General collections were made at the 11 archeological sites.
