Weedy Flat is a multicomponent site located in Georgia' s Blue Ridge Mountains. During the 1992 Passport in Time project volunteers found Early Archaic Period stone tools, a Middle Archaic lithic workshop, some of the earliest pottery in North America, and possibly the remains of a historic farmstead. Since few sites in North Georgia contain information from such a long expanse of time, it was important to carry the testing into a second summer. Archaeological and historical investigations continued at the Weedy Flat Site in the Brasstown District of the Chattahoochee National Forest again during the summer of 1993. Volunteers from Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia spent two weeks further testing and mapping the site in order to better understand its use and history.
