Abstract

Addendum Report for Archaeological Survey for the Proposed Bells Ferry Road Widening Project, Cherokee County, Georgia, GDOT; HPD Tracking # HP040. TRC recently carried out an additional cultural resource survey of approximately 1,700 feet of right-of-way for the proposed widening of Bells Ferry Road near the Little River crossing in Cherokee County, Georgia, as well as one residential property (Smith property on 102 Dockside Downs Drive, Woodstock, GA 30189) located within the APE. This document serves as an addendum to a previous cultural resource survey reports prepared by TRC for the road-widening project prior to changes in the design of the project (Carr and Holland 2004; Carr 2004). The tract is surrounded by residential properties and wooded areas. TRC's cultural resource investigations for this project are intended to assist the Georgia Department of Transportation comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, in advance of the road project's construction. This work was conducted through coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who owns the property. The project corridor boundaries, which include a construction corridor for the road improvements, form the APE for this project. Surveys for historic structures already have been completed, and are not part of this addendum report. There are two project areas: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) property beginning near Little River and running 1,700 feet to the south. The second portion of the project area is the Smith property at the northwest intersection of Bells Ferry Road and Dockside Downs Drive. There are no previously recorded sites within the area of potential effect.
