Gwinnett Archaeological Research Society educates the public about the local archaeological resources and advocates the preservation of these sites.
There are several projects in the works, which might include returning to previous archaeological projects: Graves Soapstone and Fort Peachtree! However, keep checking this page or GARS Facebook page for updates. Below is a list of some projects:
- Snellville Site: An opportunity has come up to perform an archaeological investigation on private property located in Snellville on Saturday, March 9. If you are interested in participating, please email GARS by Wednesday, March 6. More in-depth details will be emailed to those who are interested. (Since this is on private property, GARS would like to maintain the privacy of the property owner and the site.)
- Poole Mountain Site: Another archaeological investigation at the Poole Mountain Site is in the works! If you are interested in this project, email GARS.
