The Travis County Archeological Society is made up of individuals committed to understanding the Texas past through the
study of the material evidence (e.g., artifacts) that people left behind.
Some TCAS members are professional archeologists, but archeology is a hobby -- or a calling -- for most
of us. That's what brings us together. Otherwise, we're an eclectic group. We are students, retirees, and families, PhDs, high school dropouts, decorated veterans and ex-hippies.
We live all over Austin and the five-county capital area.
The Society was founded in 1959. As stated in our bylaws, our purpose is to encourage the conservation,
study, interpretation, and publication of evidences of prehistory and history, especially in Travis County and vicinity,
by promoting the scientific study of archeology in accordance with any applicable laws and with the ethical standards stated
in these Bylaws.
