A Phase 1 cultural resources survey of the proposed Settles Bridge Development Site in Gwinnett County, Georgia was conducted to locate and identify cultural resources within the project area and assess resource significance. The project area covers approximately 236.4 hectares and is located along the Chattahoochee River, 3.6 kilometers northwest of Suwanee and 4.2 kilometers west of the Sugar Hill/Buford community. Two archeological sites were revisited, while 44 new archeological sites and ten isolated finds were recorded during the field survey. Occupations represented include Early Archaic, Late Archaic, Woodland, Mississippian, and historic. Two of the sites are recommended potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The remaining sites and isolated finds are considered ineligible for the NRHP.
