Notes
General Note: "S&ME has completed a Phase I archaeological survey of approximately 6.8 acres at the proposed North Augusta Water Treatment Plant Expansion in Aiken County (Figures 1 and 2). Most of the project area contains previously recorded archaeological site 38AK276, the site is a late eighteenth to early nineteenth century village of Campbelltown. Current investigations of this small portion of site 38AK276 identified Late Archaic and Middle Woodland components; however, little or no evidence of Campbelltown was found. Based on these results, it is S&ME’s recommendation that the project will have no adverse effect on archaeological site 38AK276 and we recommend no additional work in the project area."
