Under a continuing services contract with the U.S. Army Infantry Center, Directorate of Public Work, Environmental Division, Fort Benning Military Reservation, Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI) conducted an intensive archaeological survey of 343 ac. comprising the Motor Pool Compartment, otherwise known as Kelley Hill Cantonment at Fort Benning, Georgia. This work was undertaken in compliance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NRHP) of 1966 as amended; Executive Order 11593 (Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment); and the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974. A total of six cultural loci were investigated during this survey, one of which was a site; the remaining were isolated finds (i.e., those sites yielding fewer than six artifacts and containing no features). Three of the loci yielded Indian artifacts, one locus yielded non-Indian items, and two loci yielded both Indian and non-Indian artifacts. All loci were recommended ineligible for inclusion into the NRHP.
