Interview with James B. Boyd
James B. Boyd, Bill Foerster, and Robert Norton
James B. Boyd describes six Native American archeological sites he had mapped in western Hidalgo County, beginning with discoveries near La Joya Creek and a school construction site. He detailed artifacts such as Matamoros points, Tortugas dart points, scrapers, and crude stone tools found across multiple visits, noting variations in richness depending on site disturbance. The final site, Chihuahua Hill, stood out as unusually rich for Hidalgo County, though Boyd emphasized these sites were modest compared to larger finds in neighboring counties and northern Mexico.
