content: The Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant (AAP), located in Bowie County, northeast Texas, includes 15,545 acres and is an installation of the U. S. Army DARCOM Command. As a steward of public lands, the installation has responsiblity for the management of all cultural resources within its boundaries. At present, there have been no archeological studies conducted on the property. However, a review of existing data concerning the physical and cultural backgrounds of the area has revealed that the facility has a very high potential for containing many archeological sites, both prehistoric and historic. A potential Paleo-Indian component has been reported on the facility. A total of 141 historic sites have been

documented through archival research, including nine cemeteries and 132 homestead sites present in 1904-1906 and very likely dating from the nineteenth century. The facility needs to develop a cultural resources management plan for general compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and Army regulation AR420-40, in order to assure that its on-going silviculture program proposed future oil and gas exploration leasing, and facility expansion are in compliance with Section 106 of that Act. Formulation of a facility Historic Preservation Plan, developed in consideration of both known and potential cultural resources, is recommended and scoped.
