The following report covers a survey of the archaeological and historical resources threatened by the future connection of Macon to Savannah Interstate Route 16 in Treutlan, Emanuel, Candler and Bulloch Counties in Georgia. The survey was carried out in February 1971 by John H. House working for the Archaeology Division of the Georgia Historical Commission under the general direction of Gordon M. Midgette, Staff Archaeologist, under contract with the State Highway Department of Georgia. The survey was provided for and federally funded under Section 305 of Title 23 of the United States Code which provides for salvage of archaeological and paleontological resources threatened with destruction by federally aided highway construction. The survey we proposed to include sites of both prehistoric and historic Indian affiliation as well as sites of non-aboriginal historic affiliation.
