Smith, Marvin T.

The first scientific archeological investigations in recent times

Site 9-Cn-48, located on a high hill well back from a branch of Pate's Creek, yielded several artifacts typical of the Paleo Indian Period (?-8,000 B.C.).

The Hames Rock Shelter, 9-Hm-31 , was discovered during the archeological survey of Structure 42, Soque Watershed, as proposed by the USDA, Soil Conservation Service; undertaken by Marvin T. Smith on June 14-16, 1976 .

The King Site is located in Foster's Bend on the Coosa River in the western portion of Floyd County, Georgia. This site has long been known to residents of Rome and Floyd County, and artifacts from the site are illustrated in the local history written By George Battey, Jr. in 1922 (1922: 76).

This report contains the results of archaeological investigations of the Highway 5 site (9CK64 7) located during archaeological survey of a proposed pipeline for the Atlanta Gas Light Company (Garrow et al. 1987).

The Big Creek Interceptor "C", Foe Killer Creek Interceptor, Alpharetta Outfall Sewers sewer lines are to be constructed simultaneously in three divisions.

Since past research has been sporadic and undertaken with inexperienced personnel, many sections of the study area have not been adequately surveyed for cultural resources.

The Phase I Report contained the listings of previously inventoried archeological sites, catalogued during past surveys.

The methodology employed along this 2.1 miles of the Upper Flint River was that of standard pedestrian survey accompanied by a pattern of subsurface tests, so spaced along the route of the proposed construction right-of-way, so as to preclude the missing of any site locus that might sustain adver

Five sites, 9Ef97, 9Ef101, 9Ef134, 9Ef138, and 9Ef141, were recommended for testing because they were believed to contain potentially significant prehistoric components. One additional site, 9Ef137, yielded relatively abundant prehistoric remains and will also be discussed in this section.
