The Rubin Hancock Farm Education Kit

Elizabeth and Rubin HancockThis five-day lesson plan is designed for 7th grade Texas history students and meets Texas Education Agency goals. The curriculum was prepared in 1999 by Mary S. Black of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, College of Education, The University of Texas at Austin, for Prewitt and Associates, Inc., under a contract with the Environmental Affairs Division of TxDOT.

TxDOT completed excavations at the Rubin Hancock Farmstead as part of its responsibility to recover information from important archeological sites affected by transportation projects. In 1998, TxDOT contracted with Prewitt and Associates to complete analysis of the data recovered during the excavations, prepare technical reports on the site, and produce this curriculum.
