The Williams Site is the fourth archaeological site to be excavated under the highway salvage program in Georgia. This program began actively in June of 1959 and should continue throughout the period of Interstate construction. Instrumental in the forming of this program in Georgia were Mr. Vernon Smith of the State Highway Department; Mr. Lewis Larson, Archaeologist for the Georgia Historical Commission; Mr. C.E. Gregory, past Executive Secretary of the Georgia Historical Commission; and Mrs. Mary G. Jewett, present Executive Secretary of the Commission. Numerous other individuals have aided in the formation and continuation of this salvage program and the cooperation and interest expressed all over Georgia has been very heartening.
