From 25 to 26 October 2001 , Brockington and Associates, Inc. conducted Phase I archaeological survey of the proposed Dover Transmission Line and Substation in Screven County, Georgia. The survey was conducted for Georgia Transmission Corporation to determine the effects of the proposed transmission line and substation on archaeological resources and in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) 1996, as amended. Background research was conducted at the Georgia Archaeological Site Files (University of Georgia, Athens) to determine if any previously recorded archaeological sites were present in the project's Area of Potential Effect (APE). No previously recorded sites were identified. Phase I archaeological survey consisted of excavation of screened shovel tests at 30 meter (100ft) intervals across the entire project area. The APE is mainly in open agricultural fields parallel to an existing transmission line. Soils consisted of grey sand overlying brownish-yellow sand and averaged 40 em below surface. One isolated find and no archaeological sites were identified. The isolated find is recommended ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). No further cultural resources investigations are recommended for this area.
