Site 9 DOT 13 represents a low density ceramic/lithic scatter dating to the Woodland Period. The site is located on the first terrace of Spring Creek, 160 feet northeast of State Route 78, 1.8 miles southeast of State Route 17, Burke County, Georgia.

The lack of associated structures with this chicken barn diminishes its information potential for understanding 20th century north Georgia chicken farming.

The proposed 2 acre borrow pit area will not impact the farmstead structures and building remnants, and therefore the 2 acre area was approved for use as a DOT borrow pit. No further cultural resources management consideration is recommended.

Based on the degree of site disturbance, low artifact frequency, and the low potential for intact sub-surface features or deposits, the roughly 2 acre area was approved for use as a DOT borrow pit and no further cultural resource management consideration is recommended.
