LaSalle's Colony on the Texas Coast"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Durst, field director of the project, will deliver a presentation
highlighting archeological discoveries at Ft. St. Louis. Established in 1685,
the French fort represents the first European attempt at establishing a
settlement in the area we know today as Texas. The Spanish later built Presidio
La Bahia over the site. During a period of two and a half years the THC
conducted field research on the site recovering thousands of French and Spanish
artifacts including eight iron cannons and the remains of French colonists.<o:p></o:p></p>
