We reanalyze the artifacts and excavation records for the Carroll Site (9PM85), a previously unpublished, Depression-era excavation near Rock Eagle, in Putnam County, Georgia. Despite plowing and erosion of its upland, piedmont soils, Carroll hadre1ains of at least three round houses and associated features, all dating to the late La1ar Dyar phase (ca. 1520-1580). Ceramic attributes seem to be ordered stratigraphically, permitting construction of a provisional micro-chronology with resolution on the order of 20-30 years. Probably only one or perhaps two houses would have been occupied at any one time.
