Under a continuing services contract with the United States Army Infantry Center, Directorate of Public Work, Environmental Division, Fort Benning Military Reservation, Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI) conducted an intensive archaeological survey of 16.2 ha (40 ac.) within a selected section of the cantonment area near Kelley Hill, 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. There were no previously recorded archaeological resources located within the survey area. The current investigation encountered two new archaeological resources. Site 9CE2608 is an undifferentiated post-Archaic Indian site and Site 9CE2609 is a nineteenth-twentieth century non-Indian site. Both are deemed ineligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). No further archaeological work is necessary.
