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).
