The Society for Georgia Archaeology’s flagship publication is the journal Early Georgia, which has been published for decades. Each year has a single volume, and recently, that volume has had two numbers or separate issues.
In 2001, the Society published a volume of Early Georgia entitled “Resources at Risk: Defending Georgia’s Hidden Heritage.” It contains seven articles that work in concert as an overview of the besieged state of archaeological preservation in Georgia.
