The Monroe site, 9Pm1428, was discovered in northwestern Putnam County, Georgia during the summer of 2004. Testing during that summer, major excavations during 2005, and limited excavations in 2006 all revealed many details of a Lamar period farmstead dating sometime between A.O. 1500 and 1550. A large circular house was located with two additional smaller structures. One of these is likely a cooking shed, while the other may be a storage building. This farm was part of a series of such farms located in this part of the larger Oconee River valley.
