Description
The CoBALT (Coastal Bend Archaeological Logistics Team) Oral History Project is a series of interviews conducted by Glory Turnbull featuring CoBALT members Bill Birmingham, Ben McReynolds, Frank Condron, Jud Austin, and Rickey Ramseur. CoBALT is a group of citizen archaeologists that protect archaeological sites and excavate in the Coastal Bend of Texas, primarily in the town of Victoria. CoBALT’s history is previously unrecorded, but features heavily in these interviews, in addition to information about Coastal Bend archaeology from the 1950s to present. The members of CoBALT have excavated, surveyed, or collected at nearly all of the archaeological sites in Victoria County, Texas. For the first time, viewers can hear the remarkable stories of CoBALT’s men on the Museum of the Coastal Bend’s YouTube channel.
