Lubbock Lake Landmark, Archaeological heritage site in Lubbock, Texas.
The 336-acre archaeological site contains numerous excavation areas where researchers uncover artifacts and study ancient human settlements along Yellow House Draw.
Archaeological investigations began in 1936 when the city's water development project revealed Folsom Period artifacts and ancient bison kill locations.
The museum exhibits display tools, animal remains, and artifacts representing continuous human presence spanning more than 12,000 years in North America.
Texas Tech University maintains research facilities and offers guided tours, allowing visitors to observe active archaeological excavations during summer months.
The sediment layers at Lubbock Lake contain an unbroken sequence of human occupation from Clovis Period through modern times, documented through geological stratigraphy.
