HUGHES ARCHEOLOGY, INC.

Hughes Archeology
was established in 1981 by David T. Hughes and Alicia Hughes-Jones to provide archeological consulting services to federal
and state agencies, private corporations, and others who needed advice and information to comply with the burgeoning Cultural
Resources Management regulations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and other laws and regulations.
In the ensuing 25 years we have maintained a recognized high quality and timely service to our clients. Our client
base has expanded to include corporations working in alternative energy fields such as wind energy and ethanol production
as well as traditional operations such as pipeline construction, well site environmental reviews, and other construction or
land modification projects.
After a quarter century, we are changing.
David T. Hughes, Consulting Archeologist is now HUGHES ARCHEOLOGY,
INC. We made the change so that we can be more responsive to
the needs of our clients by offering more prompt and reliable service with a larger pool of employees.
We have conducted investigations ranging from large excavations of Southern Plains Village
sites to one and two acre archeological pedestrian surveys for cell phone towers. In recent years we have restricted our investigations
to literature searches, surface archeological surveys, and small-scale test excavations for National Register evaluation.
David T. Hughes has a Ph.D. in Anthropology with archeological
specialty from the University of Oklahoma. Prior to that he earned the M.A. in Anthropology with an emphasis on geoarcheology
from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Hughes's baccalaureate is in Geology from West Texas State University (now
West Texas A&M University). He has been doing archaeology across the south-central United States since 1968.
Alicia
Hughes-Jones received her baccalaureat in Anthropology and History from the University of Arkansas, Little Rock and her M.A.
in Anthropology from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. She received the Ph.D. in Human Ecology from the University
of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. She has worked with Hughes since 1978 as co-consultant on matters of analytical concordance,
historical and social anthropological research, and for the past 25 years as an equal colleague in the conduct of all facets
of field research. She has conducted and directed archeological investigations in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas.

We maintain a
modest home office that contains our professional library of about 2,500 volumes on Southern Plains ethnology and archeology
as well as desktop and laptop computers, digitizing equipment, two Canon digital SLR cameras, a variety of film cameras in
35mm, 6X4.5cm, and 4X5 inch (Toyo 45D view camera). Our field equipment includes two 4X4 vehicles, GMRS two-way radios, various
GPS receivers and mapping equipment, and the usual shovels, trowels, pin-flags, flagging tape and other impedimenta that often
accompanies a survey archeologist out for a day of work.
