During November of 2003, Southern Research conducted an intensive archaeological survey of the proposed Jasmine Estates Tract in Houston County, Georgia under contract with Jasmine Properties, Inc. The project area, located near Bonaire, Georgia in Houston County, consists of approximately 14 acres. Georgia Highway 96 forms the southern boundary of the tract, private land is located to the west and north, and an existing housing development lies to the east. The purpose of the investigation was to identify archaeological and historical resources within the project area and to evaluate the eligibility of the identified resources for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Under direction of Principal Investigator Grace Keith, one archaeological site was recorded during the survey. This site, 9HT 173, is recommended ineligible for the NRHP.
