Under the above contractual agreement, between the USDA, Forest Service an_ the Archeological Survey of Cobb-Fulton Counties, the General Specifications contained the following. The Dug Gap portion of the Chattahoochee National Forest, comprising approximately 500 acres, is located in the vicinity of Civil War entrenchments and gun emplacements. The project area ranges 900 to 1.600 feet in elevation, is steeply sloped, and has been disturbed by road construction and powerline installations. An archeological survey combining conventional techniques with a magnetometer is necessary to locate and assess historic and pre-historic cultural resources. The survey will include: a. Archeological site file and literature search to determine former human activities within the project area; b. On-the-ground pedestrian survey; c. Magnetometer survey of those portions of the project area most likely to yield evidences of Civil War activities; All sites located will be marked by flagging or other suitable, durable material. The property was visited in mid-September by staff members of the Forest rvice and the Archeological Survey. Field work commenced October 2, 1978. al field work was completed on December 4, 1978.
