New South Associates conducted a Phase I archeological survey of the proposed extension of the McCollum Field runway for Lowe Engineers between October 4th and October 7th, 1993. The survey examined approximately 160 acres around the existing McCollum Field boundaries. Two new sites, one prehistoric and one historic, as well as one prehistoric isolate were located by the survey. The survey also relocated two of the six previously recorded sites within the project area. Phase II testing is recommended for only two sites, 9C0357 and 9C0307, to determine their eligibility for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The remaining sites are recommended as ineligible for nomination to the National Register.
