R. S. Webb and Associates (RSWA) conducted a Phase I archeological survey of a proposed 0.4-hectare (0.9-acre) stream restoration area within the Big Cotton Indian Creek wetland mitigation bank tract in Clayton County, Georgia. The project was performed to locate and identify archeological resources within the project area, and to assess the significance of each resource. The project area is located west of a railroad track, approximately 1.0 kilometer (0.6 mile) southeast of Ellenwood, Georgia. One archeological site, 9CN36, and one isolated find (IF-1) were recorded. Site 9CN36 was originally recorded as a lithic scatter. During the present survey, an early- middle 20' century historic scatter, late 20' century outbuildings, and a prehistoric isolated find were identified at this site. The historic isolated find, IF-1, is a piece of barbed wire. Site 9CN36 and IF-1 are recommended ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places. No further archeological investigations are recommended within the project area, and cultural resources clearance to proceed with this project is recommended.
