Report on Archival Research and Archaeologial Monitoring for a Steam and Chill Line Replacement Between the Chapel and New College, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia

In summary, archival research revealed the possible existence of two razed structures, a wooden chapel and a Phi Kappa meeting hall, in the vicinity of the project area. Besides the possibility of architectural remains of the old wooden chapel and the Phi Kappa meeting hall it could be expected that activities associated with the use of these buildings, as well as New College and the Chapel, throughout the nineteenth century would create intact archeological deposits and features (wells or privies for example) which might still survive and possibly be impacted by the installation of the steam line. Archeological monitoring discovered no architectural remains or features associated with the buildings in the vicinity of the steam line project. What was discovered was evidence of an extensive cut and fi ll episode associated with massive earth moving required to create Herty Field in the late nineteenth century. Unlike the nearby Chapel to New Administration Sewer Line Project (Jones 20 17), only a small section of intact soil was observed within the project area, located by the base of the Chapel Wall. Though intact soils have been removed over the project area the potential for subsoil intruding features still exists, and future activities on north campus should receive archeological monitoring.
