In order to help select the final site of a proposed water supply reservoir and fishing lake, Southeastern Archeological Services, Inc. (SAS) conducted a reconnaissance survey of two alternative locations.

An intensive cultural resources survey of 102 ha (254 ac) was conducted for Fort Benning prior to the construction of new family housing in the eastern portion of the cantonment. Two training areas, AA and BB6, were surveyed.

Two archeological sites, 9FL200 and 9FL201, were evaluated by excavating shovel tests and test pits, and both are recommended as eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The sites are located near Plant Hammond on the Coosa River west of Rome, Georgia.

An intensive survey of the proposed Clarkesville 46/12 kV Distribution Substation found no archeological sites within the four acre tract. Because there are no sites, construction of the substation will have no impacts on any significant cultural resources and should be allowed to proceed.

An intensive survey of the proposed Red Hill 115/12 kV Distribution Substation found no archeological sites within the three acre tract. Because there are no sites, construction of the substation will have no impacts on any significant cultural resources and should be allowed to proceed.

Archeological testing of the Little Tarver Site, 9J0198, was undertaken to determine if the site is a significant resource, eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
