Our concern in this final report will be with the four field seasons performed at the Bell Field sector of Carter's Dam in 1965, 1966, 1967, and still in progress now in June of 1968. During these four consecutive seasons work has been centered primarily on the Bell Field Mound and immediate village context, located on the natural levee of the west bank of the Coosawattee River just below the confluence of the Coosawattee River and Talking Rock Creek. Reference to the Carter's Dam area map will show Little Egypt mounds and village above mentioned located just across Talking Rock Creek with surface indications of extended village all down the wide fringing cove south to Highway 156 and the Pott's Tract, where another University of Georgia field party is beginning a survey of stratified village midden containing Lamar, early Etowah, and Woodstock components as identified in initial laboratory studies.
