An Intensive Cultural-Resources Survey of Selected Areas Covering 11,927 Acres of Fort Benning Military Reservation, Georgia Volume II, Revised Draft Report, Intensive Survey of Training Areas P3, U4, and BB4, Fort Benning, Chattahoochee and Muscogee Coun

Under a continuing services contract with the U.S. Army Infantry Center, Directorate of Public Work, Environmental Division, Fort Benning Military Reservation, Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI) conducted an intensive archaeological survey of 1,029 acres within selected areas of land management Training Areas P3, U4, and 13134 at Fort Benning, Georgia. This work was undertaken in compliance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NRHP) of 1966 as amended; Executive Order 11593 (Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment); and the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974. A total of 24 cultural loci were investigated during this survey, including 13 sites and nine isolated finds (i.e., those sites yielding no more than two historic or prehistoric artifacts found within a 30-m radius). Of these, eight of the loci yielded Indian artifacts, 10 loci contained non-Indian material, and four loci were found to bear both Indian and non-Indian material. A locus (U4 Locus 8A) was removed from consideration when subsequent analysis indicated that the material recovered was not cultural in nature and lacked any type of contextual integrity. A second locus (U4 Locus IA), Godwin Cemetery, had been previously recorded by Thomas H. Gresham and is currently protected by various state and federal legislation therefore, it has been removed from site consideration in this report, however any further discoveries have been noted. Ultimately, three sites (9ME 1299, 9ME1301, and 9CE2516) were recommended indeterminate for inclusion in the NRHP pending further investigation and require protection from future impacts such as timber harvesting, road construction, military activities, or any other activities that would disturb site integrity. The remaining 19 sites were recommended ineligible for inclusion into the NRHP.
