Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The proposed undertaking would include a proposed 10-foot by 10-foot (3-meter by 3-meter) area that would include a 120-foot overall height pole structure. The subject site is located off Grassdale Road NW, Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia.
This Archaeological Assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the project site, might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. During our database research, we found five previously recorded archaeological sites (9BR205, 9BRI030, 9BR1034, 9BRI042, and 9BR1045) and five survey reports (47, 3173, 4705, 4726, and 7049) within our standard 1-mile background research radius. None of the previous archaeological sites were within or near the APE for direct effects. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
We conclude that the undertaking would not affect any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
During the pedestrian survey, no archaeological sites or cultural artifacts were identified. No archaeological sites or cultural artifacts were identified during subsurface investigations. Shovel test pit observations demonstrated disturbance.
During the course of this archaeological assessment, no sites, either historic or prehistoric, were located in the APE for direct effects. We believe that no archaeological cultural resources will be affected by the proposed project. Therefore, we recommend a finding of ''No Effect" for the proposed undertaking as it relates to archaeology.
