This report documents the results of the Phase I archaeological survey for Tri leaf Corporation Project 672772 (McRae - Massey), located in McRae, Telfair County, Georgia. The survey was conducted to ensure that resources eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) located within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) are not adversely affected by the proposed project. This work is being done as required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR Part 800. In addition, this document is being submitted in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) "Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission" (FCC 2005). The archaeological fieldwork was performed by Michell Gilman, Archaeological Technician of JMT, working under the direct supervision of Abigail Heller, Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA) of JMT. The archaeological fieldwork included visual inspection, pedestrian search, and the systematic use of Shovel Test Pits (STPs) within the APE. Based on field observations, thirteen STPs were placed in the project area. Fieldwork was performed on November 14, 2020 and November 15, 2020. Two days were spent in the field. No artifacts were uncovered, no archaeological sites were identified, and no additional archaeological testing is recommended at this location.
