Abstract

The Department of the Anny, Fort Benning Military Base, has requested cost and technical proposals for the Phase III level archaeological mitigation excavation of Site 9ME81 in Muscogee County, Georgia. Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI) has designed the following technical proposal to outline our procedures for conducting all aspects of background research, fieldwork, analysis, and report preparation. All work will be conducted in compliance with Section 106 and II 0 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, with regulations implementing this legislation (36 CRF Part 800: Protection of Historic Properties), specific National Register Bulletin guidelines (e.g., Guidelines for Evaluating and Registering Cemeteries and burial Places), the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines for Evaluating and Documentation, and with standards set by the Georgia Historical Commission (GHC).

            Site 9ME81 is located in northeastern Muscogee County, Georgia. This county lies along the state's western border and exists at the fall line between the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain. Site 9ME81 can be found on the 1955 (photo revised 1985) Buena Vista W, GA. USGS 7 S topographic quadrangle, existing on a ridge crest along the western drainage of Upatoi Creek (Figure 1). The site's limits exist within Training Compartment K-3 on the Fort Benning Military Base.
