Finding Aid, Beaverdam Creek Mound and Village 1980

This collection is referred to as "Beaverdam Creek Mound and Village 1980.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is one (1) linear inch.
This investigation dates from 1979-1985. The investigation started in 1980, which explains the project name date. The range of dates found throughout the collection also includes background records and the final report. The documents were originally stored in acidic folders in an acidic cardboard box with various collections from the Richard B. Russell Multiple Resource Area. Metal contaminants were found in the collection, and these were removed. The documents were in good condition otherwise. Personal information was removed from Folder 2/1, which included social security numbers, birthdays of the archaeologists and family members, home addresses, and home phone numbers. The documents were originally lacking a discernible order.
During the investigation of site 9EB85, Native American remains were identified. Scanned assets #2023-0003, 2023-0004, 2023-0005, 2023-0007, and #2023-0018, progress reports and the final report, contain images of human remains. These materials are housed in folders 1/1 and 4/1.
The interim report and the final report were found online at Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources Geographic Information System, (www.gnahrgis.org). The Georgia Archaeological Site File Report Number for the interim report is 6574 and the Georgia Archaeological Site File Report Number for the final report is 667. Digital copies of the files were downloaded from the website and saved as part of the digital collection. Each item was assigned an asset number for tracking purposes, but copies were not printed. A folder was created to house the information related to the documents in a Report Records folder (Folder 4/1).
An oversized map of SSI, Site 2 near Beaverdam Creek, scanned asset #2023-0019, became separated from the remainder of the Beaverdam Creek Mound and Village (9EB85) 1980 collection sometime between 2010 and 2012 in the Washington, D.C. and Alexandria VCP laboratories. When the processing occurred in 2012, the map was housed in an oversized flat file in the VCP laboratory and it was labeled “Unknown RBR Map.” The Initial Data Collection Sheet that was created in 2012 did not contain information on the oversized map, and no Initial Data Collection Sheet was found for the processing that occurred in 2010. When the final report was located online in 2013, however, it was observed that the term “SSI” was mentioned throughout the report, and the oversized map was inserted back into the collection. As the original order of the oversized map was unknown, the map was assigned to an oversized record series folder (5/1) and given a scanned asset number.

本数据集被命名为“比弗达姆丘与村落1980（Beaverdam Creek Mound and Village 1980）”，该命名在检索指南、档案文件夹及箱盒标识中保持一致。本数据集的体量为1线性英寸。

本次考古调查的时间跨度为1979年至1985年，因调查于1980年启动，故项目命名带有“1980”字样。本数据集内的时间跨度还涵盖背景记录与最终报告。原始文件曾与理查德·B·拉塞尔多资源区（Richard B. Russell Multiple Resource Area）的其他藏品一同存放于酸性纸板盒内的酸性档案文件夹中。经检测，该数据集内存在金属污染物，已完成清除工作。除此之外，文件整体保存状况良好。工作人员已移除文件夹2/1中的个人敏感信息，包括社保号码、考古学家及其家属的生日、家庭住址与住宅电话号码。原始文件并无清晰的整理顺序。

在对9EB85遗址开展调查期间，工作人员确认了北美原住民遗骸的存在。扫描资源编号#2023-0003、2023-0004、2023-0005、2023-0007及#2023-0018（含进度报告与最终报告）中包含人类遗骸影像。上述资料存放于文件夹1/1与4/1内。

中期报告与最终报告可在佐治亚州自然、考古与历史资源地理信息系统（Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources Geographic Information System，网址：www.gnahrgis.org）的官网上获取。该中期报告的佐治亚州考古遗址档案报告编号为6574，最终报告的编号为667。工作人员从该网站下载了文件的数字副本，并将其纳入本数字数据集。为便于追踪，每一份文件均被分配了资源编号，但未打印实体副本。工作人员创建了报告记录文件夹（文件夹4/1），用于收纳与上述文件相关的资料。

编号为#2023-0019的扫描资源——比弗达姆溪附近2号遗址SSI的超大尺寸地图，于2010年至2012年间，在华盛顿特区与亚历山大港的VCP实验室中与“比弗达姆丘与村落1980（9EB85）”数据集的其余部分分离。2012年开展整理工作时，该地图被存放于VCP实验室的超大尺寸扁平档案柜中，并被标记为“未知RBR地图”。2012年创建的初始数据收集清单未收录该超大尺寸地图的相关信息，而2010年的整理工作未留存任何初始数据收集清单。2013年在线检索到最终报告后，工作人员发现报告中多次提及“SSI”一词，遂将该超大尺寸地图重新纳入数据集。因无法确认该地图的原始摆放顺序，工作人员将其归入超大尺寸记录系列文件夹（文件夹5/1），并分配了扫描资源编号。
