This study represents a pedestrian archaeological survey of the Red Cloud Alpha Range including Natural Resource Management Unit B 11.3 and a portion of Natural Resource Management Unit B11.5 in Liberty County. A total of 372.31 ba were surveyed for this project. The area contains unexploded ordnance and can not be tested using subsurface methods. The scope of work specified that the entire project area be pedestrian surveyed as high probability using transects spaced at 30 m intervals. This work is being done in order to comply with the National Historic Preservation Act (Public Law 89665, as amended by Public Law 96-515), Guidelines for Federal Agency Responsibilities, under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Army Regulation AR 200-4 (Cultural Resources Management) and 36CFR800 (Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties). The project is administered for the United States Army by the National Park Service (NPS), Southeast Regional Office. The primary purpose of this investigation is to identify the archaeological remains present on the survey tract at Fort Stewart. The Georgia State Historic Preservation Division has determined that any sites located in areas containing unexploded ordnance are ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places, because the information that may maize the sites eligible under Criterion D are inaccessible (letter from Mr. Richard Cloues, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer to Lt. Colonel Carey W. Brown, dated June 22, 1998). These investigations incorporated a review of previously reported site files located at the office of the post archaeologist. No previously recorded sites were located in the survey tract. In addition, the post's Historic Preservation Plan was consulted regarding sites or structures on the National Register of Historic Places within the survey area. Two archaeological sites and one isolated occurrences (which are also assigned site numbers) were identified during the survey. None of these sites are recommended as eligible, and no further management work is recommended, pending concurrence by the lead agency and the Georgia State Historic Preservation Division.
