On July 26-27, 1978, an archaeological reconnaissance survey was conducted for the city of Villa Rica, Carroll County, Georgia, in the areas of the proposed pump stations and sewage system (Figure 2). The area covered by the sewage system is approximately 41-2 miles. The purpose of the survey was to locate and evaluate archaeological and historic sites and to determine whether such sites were likely to be destroyed or damaged by subsequent construction. In the course of the survey, a few aboriginal artifacts were collected and taken to the archaeological laboratory at Shorter College, Rome, Georgia, where they were washed, catalogued, analyzed and are now stored. This report is the result of field surveying, literature search, and interviewing conducted during July, 1978.
