description: Preliminary archaeological investigations, consisting of detailed topographic mapping and limited test excavation, were conducted at the Crooked River Site (9 Cam 118) over a ten-day period during December 1983 and February 1984. The site is located on the southern Georgia coast within the extreme northeastern part of Crooked River State Park in Camden County. The purpose of the archaeological investigation was two-fold. First, a detailed topographic map of the site showing the distribution and extent of associated cultural features was required. The second goal was to acquire needed information concerning the cultural associations and significance of the Crooked River Site. The present investigation includes controlled excavation of the test pits in selected areas of the site to allow a preliminary determination of cultural associations, integrity, and significance.
