Archaeological Assessment of Project NH-009-2(90), Glynn County

The purpose of the survey was to locate, identify and evaluate the significance of any archaeological resources within the proposed project's area of potential environmental effect. The proposed project consists of intersection improvements. on SR 25/US 17 in Brunswick at CS 427/Talmadge -Avenue. Existing SR 25 would be reconstructed and sections of Old Glynn Avenue removed to provide a continuous southbound right turn lane from the Lanier Plaza south drive to G Street. The existing right-of-way is 45.7 m (150 ft) . No additional right-of-way will be required for the completion of this project. An archaeological survey consistent with the project description was conducted along the approximately 45.7 m (150 ft) 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. No existing eligible National Register archaeological resources were located within the project's area of potential environmental effect. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archaeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
