At the request of Georgia Department of Transportation, Terracon conducted a Phase I Archaeological Survey of a proposed Georgia Department of Transportation bridge replacement project (BR-0003-00 (086)). This project includes widening the structures and approach lanes, which are unpaved. The survey area consisted of approximately 600 linear meters to the north and south of the existing bridge on Whitesville Road/County Road 140 in Harris County, Georgia. The fieldwork was completed on June 21, 2002. No new sites were identified during this survey. No further archaeological investigation of the proposed project area is recommended. This report includes a description of the project area in terms of previous investigations conducted in the area, the cultural sequence, the environmental setting, and the results of the survey. A detailed summary of the surveyed areas and previously recorded sites is presented in Section 3 (Previous Archaeological Research) and Section 6 (Present Archaeological Project.
