Archaeological investigations continued at the Alamo Church. Archaeologists completed EUs 136 and 134. Excavations began at EUs 142, 149, and 15. EUs 142 and 149 are located on the south side of the Alamo Church and EU-15 is located northeast of the Church and near the entrance to the gift shop.
EU-134 was excavated to a maximum depth of 150 cm below surface. Archaeologists exposed the Church foundation down to the natural hardpan. Additionally, the foundation for the buttress was exposed. A minimum of three construction episodes were identified in this unit. The original foundation construction, a later episode that appears to be the product of repairs to the Church, and a third construction which is likely associated with the late 1800s installation of a police substation.
Archaeologists in EU-136 reached a terminal depth of 100 cm below surface. The most prominent feature in this unit was the limestone alignment, which spans the entire east-west length of the unit. However, another significant feature was encountered. Fragments of a wooden post were found against the façade of the alignment. The post was documented and carefully removed for further analysis.
