The Works Projects Administration funded numerous                       archaeological projects in the 1930s.  These projects abruptly                  stopped with the start of World War II.  The result is that                     materials from surveys and excavations were never properly                      catalogued, inventoried, or stored.  The resulting                              disorganization makes them extremely difficult to use.                                  The Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory of the                     University of Texas seeks to improve the research accessibility                 and scientific usefulness of the archaeological collections and                 documents generated by the WPA.University of Texas projects of                  1937 to 1941.  The staff will reinventory, systematize and                      rehouse the collections, inventory and cross.index the                          accompanying fieldnotes and documents, and produce a computer                   based inventory and data file for researchers.                                          The WPA projects are extremely important for Plains                     archaeology.  These collections provided much of the empirical                  foundation for the development of scinetific archaeology in                     Texas.
