The Levi Jordan Plantation was established by Levi Jordan in 1848. At its height, this antebellum sugar and cotton plantation sat on more than 2,000 acres of rich river bottomlands in the Gulf Coastal Plains of Brazoria County, Texas. Limited test excavations focused on areas around and within the main house, in addition to areas to be developed for interpretation and public access to the site. Survey and excavations were conducted during June and July of 2005 under Texas Antiquities Permit No. 3800. Limited excavations at the main house support an occupation that extends from the antebellum period through the end of the twentieth century. Numerous features uncovered during excavations provide valuable information concerning the original construction and additions to the main house. Artifacts collected during the project were processed in accordance with TPWD Archaeology Lab Manual and curated at TPWD. Archaeological data from the current archaeological investigation addressed questions on the historical development of the main house and site. This data will be utilized by TPWD for long-term stewardship, interpretation,

These archaeological monitoring investigations were the result of mitigation efforts proposed in the Historic Properties Treatment Plan drafted in accordance to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed and enacted between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Texas State University-San Marcos, and the Texas Historical Commission. Archaeological monitoring investigations consisted of monitoring all demolition and ground-disturbing activities conducted during the course of the Spring Lake Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project. All cultural deposits or potential cultural deposits were identified, assessed, and documented during the project by archaeological monitors, and time-diagnostic artifacts were collected. Locations of deposits were recorded and uploaded to a GIS database of the Spring Lake area for future reference. No significant cultural remains were identified or impacted by demolition and ground-disturbing activities of the Spring Lake Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project. vi vii

Much of the turtle assemblage derives from shells that were probably no more than 30 cm, cranialcaudal. Scute lines and sculpting suggest families Kinosternidae and Emydidae, present at Spring Lake today, are represented. However, the material is heavily comminuted and no diagnostic material was recognized.
