TexasPoints,
It appears that a lot of archeological sites are sponsored by state
agencies such as the Department of Transportation, Parks and Wildlife,
etc.. This is a list of major sites I could find sorted by State or
Federal funding.
State funding

addition to the Smith County Historical Society

1998 Gualt Project, UTexas at Austin: Texas Archaeological Research
Laboratory Projects
Relies, at least in part, on private contributions, but I would expect
because it is located within a State institution, that it is also
partially funded by the State of Texas
