Lake Sidney Lanier Cultural Resource Survey and Inventory

Abstract

In December of 1987, the Jacksonville State University Archaeological Resource Laboratory conducted a cultural resource survey and inventory of approximately 480 acres of Federal Reservation properties on Lake Sidney Lanier, Georgia. The majority of the survey area is characterized by sandy, undulating floodplain terrain, covered with bottomland woods and capped by 1 to 3 meters (3-6) of alluvial deposits. Although this thick alluvial sand cap impeded the location of archaeological resources, one Woodland/Mississippian ceramic bearing site was located and three historic features, two bridge sites and one foundation site, were observed. None of these cultural resources warranted further investigation.
