The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and evaluate the significance of any archaeological resources within the proposed projects area of potential environmental effect. The proposed projects would replace/ repair existing guardrail throughout nine counties in Georgia.

All project construction will be restricted to within the existing right-of-way on roadways identified above. An archaeological survey consistent with the proposed project descriptions was conducted for the entire length of both project corridors.
