If you haven’t visited bartowdig.com recently (or ever!), now’s the time to do so!

Read about the Leake Site, which is downstream of the Etowah Mounds and pre-dates it, and is on the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation’s 2010 list of Places in Peril. The website is chock-full of interesting information about this very unusual Woodland and Mississippian community….

Scot Keith—an SGA member—who is spearheading the preservation efforts that accompany the Places in Peril designation, authored a brief summary of recent research at Leake for our website.

Of course, at bartowdig.com, you’ll find all the details!
