Increased emphasis placed upon
environmental archaeology at A&M
iaagga&aaaaM
By Craig Lewis
The Battalion
The Texas A&M University anthropolo
gy department opened the door for future
growth with the establishment of a new
Center for Environmental Archaeology.
The CEA, a part of the College of Liber
al Arts, will replace previous research fa
cilities in the Archaeological Research
Laboratory.
Establishment of the center has come
after nearly a year-and-a-half of delibera
tion within the Texas A&M System. The
System Board of Regents approved plans
for the center at its May 27 meeting.
Dr. David Carlson, director of the re
search lab, said he welcomes the expan
sion of the department.
“The principle reason for creating the
center was that we were discovering over
the last 10 years, the lab has developed
from a fairly small-scale operation to a
much larger one,” he said.
Archaeological research will continue
to focus on past environments and the so
cieties that occupied them, Carlson said.
The CEA is also aimed at increasing the
scope of these projects.
“On one level some of the projects will
be similar or the same,” he said.
He said one primary purpose for the
new center is to attract research outside
of Texas, which the current lab has not
done extensively.
Carlson wrote the proposal that was
sent to the Board asking to change the
name of the laboratory.
Mary Nan West, chairman of the Board
of Regents, said there was no real opposi
tion to the proposal.
“We really wanted to know what exact
ly environmental archaeology meant,”
West said.
Carlson attributed the proposal’s long
turn-around time to changing policy with
in the Board.
“At the time, the University and the
Board of Regents were re-thinking how to
create centers,” he said. “So at one point
they simply suspended considering any
new centers.”
The CEA will exist entirely from exter
nal funding.
Archaeological research at A&M has
brought up to $1.25 million a year and
will continue to be self-sufficient, he said.
Dr. Vaughn Bryant, head of the anthro
pology department, said establishment of

Dr. David Carlson, associate professor of anthropology, proudly displays a rock^

the center will make A&M more competi
tive with other Texas schools.
“Both The University of Texas and
Southern Methodist University have cen
ters of this magnitude,” he said. “Those
are our main competitors.”
Bryant said students will continue to
have access to the center in the lab.
“Currently we employ a large number of
our graduate students to assist us in pe:
forming many of these tasks,” Bryant said
Undergraduate students are employe:
primarily in work-study programs.
Bryant said the CEA will not conflitl
with any existing or proposed program
and is another logical step in the growl!
of archaeological studies at Texas Ad!
University.
Father testifies in murder-for-hire case
Prosecutors accuse
woman of soliciting
teenagers to kill
father, stepmother
for inheritance
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP)
— He awakened in the “dead
of night,” Jack Koslow recalls,
to the sounds of intruders
breaking down a door and run
ning up the stairs.
“They’re in the house!”
screamed his terrified wife.
He heard the shrill buzz of the
home alarm, people shouting and
what he thought was a gunshot.
“We’re here to rob you,” some
one cried. But they came to kill.
Minutes later, Koslow, his
skull fractured and his throat
cut, regained consciousness and
rushed to his wife, Caren, lying
face down in a pool of blood.
“I knew then she was either
dead or dying,” Koslow said. “I
was filled with enormous rage
and hatred.”
A packed and silent court
room sat spellbound Tuesday
as Koslow wrapped up the first
day’s testimony in the capital
murder trial of his 19-year-old
adopted daughter.
He faced further question
ing and defense cross-examina
tion today.
The state alleges that Kristi
Koslow solicited her boyfriend
and another teen-ager in
March 1992 to kill her father
and stepmother, promising to
pay them with her multimil-
lion-dollar inheritance.
Caren, 40, an heir to an oil
fortune, was killed in the post
midnight siege. Koslow, 51, an
ex-banker, barely escaped with
his life.
In statements given police
two weeks after the attack,
Kristi Koslow said she did in
fact discuss killing her parents
and mentioned an inheritance
of $10 million to $15 million.
“But it was just a joke,” she
maintained. “I didn’t think peo
ple would take me seriously.”
But her boyfriend, Brian
Salter, and his high school bud
dy, Jeffrey DOlingham, did.
A jury convicted Dillingham,
now 21, of murder last year
and assessed the death penal
ty. Salter, now 22, pled guilty
in exchange for a life sentence
and an agreement to testify
against Miss Koslow.
On Tuesday, state District
Judge Bob Gill denied a de
fense motion to suppress Kris
ti’s “confessions,” ruling that
the state can play the taped in
terviews for the jury.
At day’s end, Koslow took the
stand and described Kristi as a
problem child and a troubled
teen-ager.
He was surprised, then, he
said, when Kristi and Brian
drove up to his Rivercrest
home in early March, less than
two weeks before the attack.
“She said she wanted to stop
and give me a kiss,” he said.
Moving to the early morning
hours of March 12, 1992,
Koslow recalled that the in
truders intercepted him as he
ran for the gun closet. They or
dered him back to the center of
the room.
“Caren was sitting on the
side of the bed,” he said. “She
could not move. She was total
ly petrified.”
Once the intruders got the
couple on the floor, the beat
ings began.
“I remember the whole
world turning black,” Koslow
said, his voice firm but his
hands shaking and his body
trembling. “I remember him
beating me and beating me
and beating me until I didn’t
remember anymore.”
Army denies any safety
risks from warfare testing
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
(AP) — The Army says there
were no risks to the public from
biological warfare tests it con
ducted off the Gulf Coast near
Corpus Christi in 1962.
Tiny particles of zinc-cadmi
um sulfide were dropped off the
shoreline of Port Aransas along
a 30-mile path to determine how
far the fluorescent particles
would be carried inland under
different weather conditions, of
ficials said.
Army officials released some
details on the tests at a public
briefing Monday.
Despite the reassurances that
no one was harmed, the Army
plans a follow-up assessment
based on 1994 health standards.
State and national agencies,
including the Centers for Dis
ease Control and Prevention, the
Environmental Protection
Agency and the Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commis
sion, will review the report,
which is due in late July.
In all, 405 pounds of zinc-cad
mium sulfide were disseminated
over seven days in late June
1962, said U.S. Army Lt. Col.
Richard A. Jackson.
Although more than 85 per
cent of the particles were small
enough to be inhaled by
residents, the Army’s prelimi!
nary assessment showed m
health risk, he said, citing
limited time and extremely larjt
area over which the release ot'
curred.
Jackson said no tests havt
been performed on residents liv
ing in or near the Port Aransa;
area. He does not know hoi
long the chemical compoun!
would have remained in a per
son’s lungs.
No biological agents wen,
dropped, Jackson said.
“If the information that hai
been provided by the Depart
ment of Defense is complete ar:
accurate, I am satisfied thate
activity in Corpus Christi... <t :
not have a harmful impact ot
our environment or to the heal
of our citizens,” said U.S. Rep
Solompn Ortiz, who organize!
the briefing.
Corpus Christi was amonf
several sites nationally in whick
the Army conducted the tests.
“I know what they told us to
day,” added County Commis
sioner Carol Karter. “But they
certainly didn’t ask these people
in June of 1962 whether they
wanted to participate in some
thing like this.”
