Notes

General Note: "In summary, there is a possible important site within the project vicinity possibly dating to the early Archaic. However, the portion of the site to be affected by the SCDHPT bas been previously damaged. I believe this damage to be so extensive that salvage is not warranted. I would caution, however, that the remaining portion of the site should not be utilized for borrow material."
