Funded partially by a Texas Preservation Trust Fund grant, Hicks & Company conducted two phases of testing at Fort Anahuac, a National Register-listed site in east Texas. Fort Anahuac was built by Mexico between 1830 and 1832 at a time in which the Mexican government sought to control trade and immigration within its northern territories. The fort became the site of two early skirmishes—one in 1832 and one in 1835—that led up to the Texas Revolution. During the summers of 2002 and 2003 Hicks & Company archeologists excavated portions of this important heritage site, uncovering spectacular foundation remains, subterranean drain features, walls, and even intact floor surfaces. The data collected has shed light not only the events that make the site significant, but also the devices of the Mexican military that built it. As part of this project archeologists worked closely with county officials and local residents, developing an archeological management plant for the site and participating in public outreach efforts within the community.
