Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 11:39:04 -0600

An application is now underway for state archeological landmark nomination:
archeological site for the old New Braunfels Cemetery.

Archeological sites may be recognized as state archeological landmarks if
any of the following criteria are met



*The site has the potential to contribute to a better understanding of the
prehistory and/or history of Texas by the addition of new and important
information;



*The site's archeological deposits and the artifacts within the site are
preserved and intact, thereby supporting the research potential or
preservation interests of the site;



*The site possesses unique or rare attributes concerning Texas prehistory
and/or history;



*The study of the site offers the opportunity to test theories, and methods
of preservation, thereby contributing to new scientific knowledge;



*The high likelihood that vandalism and relic collecting has occurred or
could occur, and official landmark designation is needed to insure maximum
legal protection, or alternatively further investigations are needed to
mitigate the effects of vandalism and relic collecting when the site cannot
be protected.
