On August 15, 1997 New South Associates conducted a Phase I archaeological survey for improvements to the intersection of SR 162/Salem Road at CR 511/Brown Bridge Road and the relocation of CR 32/Salem Circle, Newton County, Georgia. This report provides a prehistoric and historic background for the area and completely chronicles the results of the archaeological survey. Field coverage of the proposed right-of-way widening consisted of transect survey. A pedestrian survey of the corridor utilized 30 meter shovel test intervals along single transects as well as visual inspection of the exposed ground surface. No archaeological sites were identified within the areas of possible impact, therefore no further archaeological work is recommended in this area.
