ECA was contracted by AT&T Mobility, LLC to perform an archaeological assessment as part
of the Section I 06 Review process for the proposed communications facility. The facility would be located at 1163 Northside Drive NW, Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. The purpose of our work was to determine whether any archaeological sites might exist within the project impact area.
Through our review of available cultural records and databases, twenty-nine previously recorded
archaeological sites (9FU89, 9FU90, 9FU91, 9FU92, 9FU94, 9FU102, 9FU107, 9FU118, 9FU194, 9FU230, 9FU252, 9FU253, 9FU318, 9FU334, 9FU410, 9FU482, 9FU483, 9FU484, 9FU485, 9FU515, 9FU516, 9FU517, 9FU518, 9FU578, 9FU579, 9FU584, 9FU681, 9FU688, 9FU726) and fifty-seven previously recorded archaeological surveys (278, 1500, 1717, 2031, 2289, 2396, 2585, 2607, 2608, 3130, 3192, 3195, 3196, 3280, 3382, 3385, 3511, 3512, 3632, 3701, 3757, 3887, 3941, 4216, 4336, 5691, 5696, 5712, 5721, 5740, 5743, 5745, 5746, 5935, 6375, 6732, 7118, 7139. 7429, 7434. 7679, 8181, 8205, 8210, 8337, 8475, 8499, 8554, 8572, 8582, 8781, 8837, 8864, 8978, 9409, 9514, 9536) were identified within a 2-mile research radius of the proposed undertaking, but outside the APE for direct effects. During the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
Field notes for the negative findings are on file with Environmental Corporation of America.
No shovel tests were excavated within the proposed project area due to the presence of underground utilities. During the pedestrian survey, no archaeological sites or cultural artifacts were identified. During this archaeological assessment, no sites, either historic or prehistoric, were in the APE for direct effects. We believe that no archaeological cultural resources will be affected by the proposed undertaking. Therefore, we recommend a finding of "No Effect" for the proposed undertaking as it relates to archaeology.
