• Occasional Papers

  Occasional Papers in Cultural Resource Management series consists of archaeological and historical research sponsored by the Georgia DOT. These reports have been produced by Georgia DOT in-house cultural resource staff and by consultants under contract with the Georgia DOT. Reports within the series present information ranging from cultural resource contextual themes to specific data associated with historic properties considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places that would be affected by transportation projects.

  Each report addresses research questions and the conclusions and interpretations contained therein reflect the theoretical orientation, background, and assorted biases of the authors. Each manuscript has been prepared as a result of a project with the Georgia DOT, and the reports are distributed by the Office of Environmental Services.
