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.     BREAKING NEWS NEW OFFICERS ELECTED.
