From 31 January to 1 February 2002, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted Phase I archaeological survey of the approximately 3 acre Brookman Substation alternate location in Glynn County, Georgia. The survey was conducted for Georgia Transmission Corporation to detennine the effects of the proposed Brookman Substation on archaeological resources and in compliance with Section I 06 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHP A) 1996, as amended.
Background research was conducted at the Georgia Archaeological Site Files (University of Georgia, Athens) to determine if any previously recorded archaeological sites were present in the project's Area of Potential Effect (APE). No previously recorded sites were identified.
Phase I archaeological survey consisted of excavation of screened shovel tests at 30 meter (100 ft) intervals across the entire project area. The APE is mainly in a pine plantation with a small area of wetland on the northern edge of the site. Soils were disturbed and consist of dark grey or black sandy, loam overlying white sand. Vegetation consists mainly of pines and briers. No archaeological sites were identified. No further cultural resources investigations are recommended for this area.
