scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series comprises material relating to Albert J. Redder's and Frank H. Watt's excavation of the Horn Shelter #2 site from 1966 to 1990. Research files relating to the excavation date between 1957 and 1989. Redder's and Watt's materials particularly focus on what was named the "south-end" of the site. Horn Shelter #2 was split down a median line following a natural divide within the shelter from a balcondy ledge. Robert. E Forrester lead excavation of the "north-end" of the site while Redder and Watt excavated the south-end, with the intention of the findings from both sites eventually being reunited for research and analysis.

Included are Albert J. Redder's extensive field notes containing daily excavation notes, artifact and section illustrations, a glossary of archaeological terminology, and newspaper clippings about Horn Shelter #2. Also included are Frank H. Watt's field notes, section illustrations, pollen analysis, documentation of the burials, research of brazos fishtail points, radiocarbon dating of the site, and manuscripts. Within Watt's materials are photocopies of a portion of Robert E. Forrester's notes and research of the north-end of the site.
