In 1929, J. E. Pearce began excavating at the Gault site. They recovered a handful of Paleoindian artifacts, including Clovis cultural materials, more than 2 years before the discoveries at Blackwater Draw.
The Gault Site was donated to the Archaeological Conservancy in 2006, that same year GSAR was incorporated. In 2010, the Prehistory Research Project was established at Texas State University. 6 PhD's and 12 MA's have come out of the Gault materials.
The GSAR is looking to expand its educational opportunities and preparing a roadside exhibit. This is alongside our primary goal of publishing a comprehensive study of the site. We have a bright future ahead!
