The Gault Project is an
important Paleoindian site in Central Texas. Evidence
suggests that the site was
home to some of the earliest inhabitants of North America,
in addition to being
continuously used for more than 11,000 years.
Archaeologists believe it is
one of the oldest sites in North America.
More than a million artifacts have been uncovered at the site
and the excavations are far from being completed.
