LeRoy Johnson Jr.

LeRoy Johnson, Jr. (September 10, 1935 in Lubbock, Texas – February 4, 2011 in Austin, Texas) was an editor and research archeologist at the Texas Historical Commission, where he analyzed and reported on a series of major archeological excavations of prehistoric campsites in central Texas.[1] Artifacts discovered at the Devil's Mouth site, in the Amistad Reservoir, Texas led Johnson to name the Plainview Golondrina point (now the Golondrina point) in 1964.[2]
