The present survey tested this site in a number of places, under Mr. Caldwell's able direction, and found that the bases of sane of these mounds are still intact. From the artifacts recovered it can be said that the site is essentially a single component site which can be attributed to the Lamar Complex and tentatively dated 1540 1650. This date corresponds to similar sites found in other parts of Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. Further trenching and testing should give much needed additional information on this large community of protohistoric Georgia in that it would enable us to correlate it with other Lamar sites mentioned above. Usually large mound groups, such as this site, represent former metropolitan areas and religious centers.
