Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 100-foot by 100-foot compound and an existing 30-foot by 370-foot access road followed by a proposed 30-foot by 50-foot final segment of access. The facility would include a 195-foot monopole telecommunications structure (199-feet with appurtenances) and associated ground level support equipment. The facility is located at 4700 Gillionville Road, near Albany, Dougherty County, Georgia.
This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the project site, might directly or indirectly affect archaeological cultural resources, if any such resources exist. Through our review of available cultural records and databases, one previously recorded archaeological site was identified within the 1/2-mile search radius for background data for the proposed project. No archaeological cultural resources were encountered during the course of the Phase I intensive field survey portion of this archaeological assessment.
Our research revealed one site located approximately 2560 feet northwest of the project area. This site consists of a moderate density lithic scatter. National Register recommendation is unknown for this site.
ECA concludes that the proposed undertaking would have no effect upon any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking.
