The proposed project would consist of the resurfacing of SR 144 northeast of the city of Baxley. Also included in this project would be paving of the existing 0.6 m (2 ft) shoulders on SR 144. The project would begin at the intersection of SR 4 in Baxley and end at the intersection of SR 121. An archaeological survey consistent with the project description was conducted along the entire project corridor. An archaeological survey (Level I) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archaeologists in consultation with DNR Historic Preservation Section Staff and concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration and State Historic Preservation Officer. These guidelines provide general survey boundaries and methodological approaches to archaeological surveys based on the type/scope of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources.
