The proposed project would consist of the paving of the existing shoulders on SR 121 just south of the Appling/Tattnall County line. The project would begin just south of the intersection of SR 169 (MP 25.78) and end at the Altamaha River Bridge (MP 26.66). An archaeological survey consistent with the project description was conducted along the entire project corridor. An archaeological survey (Level I) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archaeologists in consultation with DNR Historic Preservation Section Staff and concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration and State Historic Preservation Officer. These guidelines provide general survey boundaries and methodological approaches to archaeological surveys based on the type/scope of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources.
