The
Hill Country Archeological Association
is a group of avocational and professional archeologists from
the area.
The group meets on the third Saturday of Jan., Mar., May, July,
Sept. And Nov. The meetings
are held at the Riverside Nature Center starting at 12:30 PM. 
The
mission of HCAA is to survey and record details about
archeologically significant sites before
they are lost to the
rapidly
increasing development of the Hill Country. To accomplish this more
effectively, we strive to cultivate public interest in, and knowledge
about, the history and prehistory of this area.

"Every archaeologist knows in his heart why he digs. He digs... that the dead may live again, that what is past may not be forever lost, that something may be salvaged from the wrack of ages, that the past may color the present and give heart to the future."
