Stewart County Arbitrary 1969-1978 Investigations

Summary

No documentation is present for the investigations that comprise the Stewart County Arbitrary 1969-1978 Investigations. Some of dates of the investigations are unknown, but based on the dates that are present it appears that the investigations took place from 1969 to 1978. Despite the lack of documentation pertaining to these investigations, some information on the sites could be found in an older report.

Harold Huscher investigated some of the sites in 1958 and published a report in 1959 titled Appraisal of the Archaeological Resources of the Walter F. George Reservoir Area Chattahoochee River Alabama and Georgia. Huscher investigated 9SW17 and 9SW101 during this time, but the information he gathered during his survey was minimal. Site 9SW17 was noted as being, “a ceramic site on the natural levee of the Chattahoochee River on the edge of the terrace, 3000 feet south of the mouth of Rood’s Creek” (Huscher 1959). Site 9SW101 was noted as being, “the Historic Town of “Roanoke”, at Florence, Georgia, a [settlement] established in 1831 on the site of a former Creek town” (Huscher 1959). The site number assigned to the historic European settlement is 9SW101, and the prehistoric Creek component of the site has a different site number, 9SW24. Very little information has been identified for sites 9SW3, 9SW15, 9SW16, and 9SW68. Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources Geographical Information System (GNAHRGIS) was used to identify additional documentation pertaining to these sites, but yielded only a minimal amount of data. The only documentation for these sites was the site forms that can be found on GNAHRGIS or in the Georgia Archaeological Site File (GNAHRGIS 2011).

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the artifact database, artifact report, finding aid, scanned asset key, and select artifact photographs. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include additional artifact photographs, box inventory, document folder listing, initial data collection, personal notes, and preliminary inventory worksheet. For additional information on these materials, refer to the finding aid.

    The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as “Stewart County Arbitrary 1969 and 1978 Investigations.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is 0.2 linear inch. There were two box...
