In recommending a certain amount of archeological excavation at Buford the purely scientific considerations have been tempered by the realization that this, after all, can be no more than an emergency salvage undertaking.

The proposed project is located on the Atlanta Plateau of the Central Upland (LaForge, 1925). The northern end of the project is quite close to the Dahlonega Plateau at its border at Long Branch Creek.

The project begins at S.R. 306 in Forsyth County and proceeds northerly to a junction with S.R. 60 near Dahlonega. The facility will be nineteen miles long and will consist of four twelve-foot travel lanes, two in each direction. All intersections will be at-grade.

9Lu(DOT)l is located on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' property on the north side of the Chestatee River and west of Long Branch Creek (Figure 1).

A mitigation plan has been assembled and approved for the 9Lu(DOT)l excavation. According to this mitigation plan, the first step will be to stake the DOT right-of-way to the west of the bridge. All excavation will be restricted to that right-of-way.

Due to the preponderance of Woodstock types in the collected data, it has been concluded that the site is primarily from that period.

An archaeological reconnaissance was carried out on three tracts owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) within the Nottely Lake and Dam Reservation (Nottely). The tracts are proposed as sources for dirt fill to raise the embankment at the dam.

An archaeological survey of areas that border Nottely Lake in Union County, Georgia, was conducted for the Tennessee ',.,'alley Authority in order to locate, identify, and evaluate any cultural resources that occur within the drawdown shoreline areas prior to a proposed land exchange by the U.S.

In August 2000, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted Phase I archaeological survey of the proposed Perimeter Center Parkway extension improvements in DeKalb County, Georgia. Three alternatives were examined.

Georgia Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of the Interior Project MLP-813(l), Walker-Catoosa Counties, is the proposed relocation of existing U.S. 27 to the west from S.R.
