The survey reported here was designed to locate archeological sites in the areas of potential effect of six bridge replacement projects proposed by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). An attempt to evaluate located resources' eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) was also made, to the limited extent possible from a few shovel tests within the projects' narrow corridors. The survey located four archeological sites, including two from the historic era and two from the prehistoric era. None of the four located sites could be fully delineated by survey within the project corridors, but their portions within the project areas were sampled extensively. Based on these samples, the site segments under scrutiny were deemed insignificant for archeological research. Therefore Southeastern Archeological Services, Inc. recommends that none of the six proposed bridge replacement projects will have any adverse effect upon significant archeological resources.
