Houston Archeological Society: The Kellum-Noble House Book
The Kellum-Noble Project was an important Emergency Salvage Archeology project undertaken by the Houston Archeological Society (HAS) at the historic Kellum-Noble House in Sam Houston Park, Houston, Texas from December 2014 to March 2015. In the process of conducting urgent structural and foundation repairs at this historic house, the oldest brick structure in Houston still on its original foundation, numerous period artifacts were recovered by the contractors from the dirt that was being dug from foundations of the house. The HAS was called in to assess the importance of the recovered artifacts and, at the request of the Texas Historical Commission, The HAS spent three months screening dirt and resulting 10,357 artifacts that otherwise would have been destined for the landfill. These artifacts have added immeasurably to the historical knowledge of the Kellum-Noble House and the early days of the City of Houston.
