Abstract

The proposed project consists of the paving of 0.6 m (2 ft) of the existing shoulders along SR 64. The project would begin approximately 0.3 km (0.2 mi) east of the intersection of SR 11 in Berrien County and would end at the intersection of SR 31 in Atkinson County. No additional right-of-way would be required for the completion of the proposed project. 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.
