In compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and amendments thereto, project STP-097-1(24), Candler County has been surveyed with respect to archaeological resources, especially those on or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and evaluate the significance of any archaeological resources within the proposed project's area of potential environmental effect. The proposed project would consist of the paving of 0.6 m (2 ft) shoulders of SR 121 in Candler County. The proposed project would begin at approximately 0.845 km (0.52 mi) north of SR 46 (MP 8.70) in the city of Metter and would end at the Emanuel County line (MP 18.92). An additional right-of-way would be required for the completion of the proposed project. An archaeological survey consistent with the project description was conducted along the entire project corridor.
