References on weapons and arms group artifacts were examined (Bower 2003; Darling 1987; Hamilton
1976; Hamilton and Emery 1988; Kenmotsu 1990; Moore 1967; Muller 1780; Neumann 1967, 1991;
Neumann and Kravic 1989; Peterson 1969; Stone 1974; Sivilich 1996). References on military uniforms
and clothing were consulted during the laboratory analysis (Barthrop 1982; Katcher 1973, 1981; Lefferts
1926; Ludington 1894; Olsen 1963; Nelson 2008; South 1964; Troiani 2001; Wilkinson-Latham and
Wilkinson-Latham 1970; Sons of the Revolution of the State of California 2003). Many references on
domestic items and general material culture were consulted in the laboratory analysis (Godden 1996; Greer
1981; Noël Hume 1983; South 1977; Coysh and Henrywood 1982; Jones 1986, 1993; Jones and Sullivan
1985; Ketchum 1975; Kovel and Kovel 1995; McConnell 1988; Sloan 1964; Hanson and Hsu 1975).
BREPORTING
The Kettle Creek survey project is fully documented in the present report. The report follows standards for
archeological survey reporting established by the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service and
the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Historic Preservation Division. The report style follows the
Society for Historical Archaeology guidelines (SHA 2008).
The report is organized into six chapters. Chapter I presents a brief introduction of the project and provides
background information concerning the project environment and location. Chapter II details the methods
used in this study, including archival, field, laboratory, reporting and curation. Chapter III summarized
previous research on the topic of the Kettle Creek battle. Chapter IV contains the historical research results.
Chapter V presents the findings of the battlefield survey. Chapter VI is an interpretation and summary of
the findings, and contains recommendations for future management of the cultural resources associated
with the Battle of Kettle Creek. It is followed by a full bibliography of references cited in the report.
Four appendices contained in digital format are on an accompanying CD disc. It includes: Appendix I-complete
artifact inventory in Microsoft Excel format; Appendix II—A roster of participants in the battle in
Microsoft Excel format; Appendix III—digital artifact photographs and other selected project images, and
Appendix IV—selected GPR digital images, organized in a set of three GPR-Slice animations. Copies of
the technical report and appendices were submitted to the project sponsors, City of Washington and
Preserve America. Copies are also on file with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Historic
Preservation Division (Atlanta, Georgia) and the Georgia Archaeological Site File (Athens, Georgia). A
modified version of this report will be posted on the LAMAR Institute’s internet website for public
consumption at http://lamarinstitute.org/reports/htm.
