A Cultural Resources Inventory Survey at Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery, Fannin County, Georgia

摘要

Documentary research and archaeological survey were undertaken by Carolina Archaeological Services at the Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery, Fannin County, Georgia. During the protohistoric and early historic period, this region was inhabited by Cherokee peoples, whose ancestry in the region extends at least back to approximately 1000 A.D. Prior to this time, aboriginal occupation appears to have been sparse, probably concentrating on the wider and larger river valleys. No evidence of prehistoric or historic land use prior to the early 20th century was observed or indicated during project research. A 15-acre proposed oxidation/settling lagoon area at the northern end of the hatchery property is recommended for archaeological clearance.
