An archaeological reconnaissance was carried out on three tracts owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) within the Nottely Lake and Dam Reservation (Nottely). The tracts are proposed as sources for dirt fill to raise the embankment at the dam. The tracts were walked over, all cut banks and roadbeds examined, and shovel test pits dug at approximately 20-meter intervals. No cultural materials of significance were found. It is concluded that no further archaeological work is needed prior to the proposed disturbance.
