Whitesville Road Phase I Cultural Resources Survey LaGrange, Troup County, Georgia

This report documents the results of a cultural resource assessment survey performed by Greenhouse Consultants Incorporated in conjunction with its PaleoWest affiliate of approximately 8.38 acres in Troup County, Georgia. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for this survey comprises a 100-meter buffer around two stream impact areas within Parcel ID 0604 000014 (Troup County Property Appraiser 2022).

The purpose of this survey was to locate and identify historic properties within the APE and to assess the significance of such properties with respect to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria in 36 CFR 60, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The survey was completed in accordance with federal and state regulations, and it was undertaken to comply with the Georgia Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Investigations provided by the Georgia Council of Professional Archaeologists (Georgia Council of Professional Archaeologists (GCPA) 2019).

Shovel test pits (STP) were pre-plotted within the APE at 30-meter (m) intervals spaced 30 meters apart. The Greenhouse Consultants team plotted a total of 36 STP. No STP were positive for cultural material, and 10 STP were unable to be excavated. Pedestrian survey was conducted along the transects throughout the APE. No archaeological sites were recorded during survey.

Visual effects were considered on adjacent parcels within 100 meters of the APE. Nine newly (9) recorded structures and one previously recorded structure were documented adjacent to and within sight of the proposed undertaking. No structures were recorded within the APE of the proposed undertaking.
