This report is a request for Determination of Eligibility for the 9DA104 site in DeKalb County, Georgia. This site is, specifically, between I-285, West Side Place, and Henrico Road.
The Survey in which this site was discovered was accomplished under a Georgia Department of Transportation contract. The survey area included approximately 120 square miles in Clayton, Henry, and DeKalb Counties, Georgia. The survey required 20 weeks of field work. The purpose of the survey was to locate, record, and evaluate the importance of all archaeological resources that might be affected by project I-675. Archaeological sites, discovered by field research or documentary research, were recorded descriptively, photographed, mapped, and were evaluated according to their cultural uniqueness, condition of preservation, and areal importance – including assignation of a level of significance by the principle investigator. Limitations of funding and time were experienced; total, or even systematic, removal of extensive leaf mold on these sites was not possible. The investigators did not require results of sub-surface testing for evaluation.
