Between March 22 and May 13, 2010, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted intensive Phase II evaluations at nine archaeological sites and evaluated one architectural resource on Fort Stewart Military Reservation, Bryan, Evans, and Liberty Counties, Georgia. This project was undertaken by Brockington and Associates, Inc. as a subconsultant to the cooperator, The Louis Berger Group, Inc. The purpose of these studies was to provide definitive National Register of Historic Places eligibility recommendations for these sites. Fort Stewart archaeological sites determined eligible for the NRHP require appropriate consideration under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (Public Law 89-665, as amended), Guidelines for Federal Agency Responsibilities under Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA, its implementing regulations (36 CFR Part 800), and Army Regulation (AR) 200-1. During these investigations, Brockington and Associates complied with guidelines of the US Army, the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office (Historic Preservation Division, Department of Natural Resources). All work conducted under this task order was completed by personnel meeting the Secretary of the Interior's standards for professional archaeologists. The nine archaeological sites are located in six different Natural Resource Management Units (NRMUs) situated in the northwestern, central, and southeastern portions of Fort Stewart. Table i.1 summarizes the results of our Phase II investigations. One archaeological site, 9Li1307, and one architectural resource, 9Li484, are recommended eligible for the NRHP and require additional management by Fort Stewart, including protection from proposed activities that might destroy or disturb significant archaeological deposits. The remaining eight archaeological sites are recommended ineligible for the NRHP and require no additional management.
