Part III of the Initial Curation of the Cultural Resource Materials, Carters Lake, Georgia: Sixtoe (9Mu100), Excavation Units A, B, C, D, E, H, H, I and K

Beginning in January 2000, Brockington and Associates, Inc., completed the third part of initial curatorial and archival preparation for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, archaeological artifacts, field records, photographs, maps, analyses, reports, and other pertinent data from Carters Lake, Murray County, Georgia. These materials are currently stored at the University of Georgia (UGA), Riverbend Research Facility Archaeological Laboratory (RRFAL), in Athens, Georgia. During the initial part in early 1998, Brockington and Associates staff commenced curatorial preparation with artifacts and documentation from the Little Egypt site (9MU 102). They prepared the documentation and artifacts from Field Seasons 1 and 2 and Excavation Units 1, 2, and 6 for long term storage based on current curation standards (Huddleston 1998a). During Part 11, technicians prepared the remainder of the Little Egypt artifacts (Excavation Units 3, 4, and 5; excepting burials) and all documentation and artifacts from the Bell Field site (9MU101) and the Potts Tract site (9MU103) for long term storage. During this third part, we began curatorial preparation of artifacts and documentation from the Sixtoe site (9MU100). Technicians prepared the artifacts from Excavation Units A, B, C, D, E, H, I, and K, and all the documentation for long term storage. In addition, we curated all of Dr. A. R. Kelly's professional correspondence and documentation currently held by the RRFAL, UGA. We also made recommendations concerning further work needed to prepare these artifacts and materials for future research and to ensure their stability in long term storage.
