Charles (Chuck) Hixson has been involved in archaeology for over 30 years, including graduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin, professional work, and as a member of the Llano Uplift Archaeological Society (LUAS). Archaeological work in San Saba County includes, surveys for electrical transmission lines and water pipelines and test excavations in the LCRA Nature Park. In recent years, with Chuck as the principal investigator, the LUAS has been active in San Saba County conducting archaeological surveys on private land. Late in 2014, the LUAS excavated a possible historic Indian site on the San Saba River, which will be the subject of his talk.

In the 1700’s, many Toyah camps dotted the Edwards Plateau with Perdiz points and European components the norm, except for one lone camp which contained neither. This camp on the San Saba River remains a mystery. Chuck Hixon, Professional Archeologist and member of the Llano Uplift Archeology Society (LUAS) will discuss the Wilson Site on the San Saba River. Hixson received his BA and MA degrees in anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin. Hixson’s thesis project dealt with southwestern pottery making technology, specifically with a study of the paint on Mogollon Black on White pottery. Hixson has developed this interest into an art. Using open firing pits and aboriginal techniques, he produces exquisitely thin walled, bone tempered vessels from clays he has collected from throughout the local area
