Projects

NTAS is an active community organization, taking part in local archeologically focused activities throughout the year. These projects are often worked on with sister organizations or other local institutions. NTAS also participates in report writing of independent and assisting projects.

Throughout the year, members participate in field trips to archeological sites and special exhibits in museums. The organization also volunteers in community enrichment opportunities such as archeology fairs and seminars.

Whether it's for field, lab, or reporting assistance, our society has a talented group of volunteers ready to help. Please email any inquiries and/or project information to vpofprojects@ntxas.org

From 2020-2021, NTAS coordinated with Doug Boyd and TxDoT to create volunteer opportunities at historic archeological sites of the Old American West. These investigations focused on the Sartin Hotel (41DN593) pictured above and the Tom Cook Blacksmith Shop (41DN617), two late-nineteenth-century commercial businesses located in Bolivar, a small town along the Chisholm Trail route in western Denton County.
