CARVED IN STONE

The Gault Site is a gem of Texas history! Investigations at the Gault site have helped establish that people were in the Americas as early as 20,000 years ago, far longer than many archaeologists had believed. Working with a team of scientists from many different disciplines, Dr. Michael B. Collins’ work has helped establish the antiquity of human presence in Central Texas specifically, and in the Americas generally. While this advance in the archaeological understanding of the past is highly significant, GSAR recognizes that one of the real contributions that the Gault Site can make is in helping students follow a similar journey of learning. Gault Site research continues today and includes efforts to minimize any future looting and damage. You can see the site yourself on specially-guided tours sponsored by the Gault School of Archaeological Research. Visit the School’s website at www.gaultschool.org for a schedule of events.
