Cultural Resources Survey of the New Hampstead Parkway and Highgate Boulevard Project, Chatham County, Georgia

In June 2005, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive cultural resources survey of the proposed New Hampstead Parkway and Highgate Boulevard project in Chatham County, Georgia, for International Paper Realty Corporation. This cultural resources (i.e., historic resources) survey was conducted for purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (in accordance with 36 CFR 800 and 33 CFR 320-330, especially 320.4, 325.4, Appendix C of 325, and 330.4) in order to identify historic properties potentially affected by the proposed undertaking, allow the responsible Federal Agency official to take into account the effects of the undertaking to historic properties, and allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation the opportunity to comment on those effects, if any. These investigations entailed background research and intensive archaeological survey. No historic architectural resources that retained sufficient integrity to be included in the Georgia Statewide Survey are present in or near the project (there are no architectural resources over 50 years of age in or near this project). During the cultural resources survey of the proposed New Hampstead Parkway and Highgate Boulevard project, we identified one archaeological site (9CH1095) and one isolated find (Isolate 1). We recommend archaeological site 9CH1095 and Isolate I not eligible for the NRHP. No further management consideration of these resources is warranted. Further management of the New Hampstead Parkway and Highgate Boulevard project as currently designed with regard to cultural resources is not warranted.
