The Lauren site is located in northwestern Putnam County, Georgia, and represents the remains of Late Lamar farmstead. Located and tested in 2004, major excavations were undertaken there in the summer of 2006 by the University of Georgia's archaeology field school. This work located a probable rectangular structure and an adjacent daub processing pit filled with trash. Artifacts from the site were limited in quantity since the majority of the soil from the site was not screened. The work shows that, compared to other nearby excavated farmsteads, the Lauren site has a somewhat distinctive layout.
