During the period of April 22 through 29, 2013, R.S. Webb & Associates conducted a cultural resources literature review and field reconnaissance survey of four Southwire project tracts totaling 23.1 acres (hereafter referred to as the " project area") in Carrollton, Carroll County, Georgia (see BCT, SWMU 17, SWMU 18, and SWMU 20 on Figure 1). For this study, a "cultural resource" is defined as a discrete area of human activity that is more than 50 years old. Cultural resources include but are not limited to archeological sites, historic structures/buildings, military earthworks, mines/mining features, historic cemeteries, and historic landscape features. The purpose of the current study was to determine if previously recorded cultural resources are located within the project area and to estimate the likelihood of unrecorded significant cultural resources [i.e., eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)] being present within the study tract. A secondary goal was to generally assess land use history and potential post-depositional effects on cultural resources.
