AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY AT OAK LEVEL MOUND: INVESTIGATING SETTLEMENT PATTERNS AND INTRASITE USE DURING THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPIAN PERIOD (A.D. 1150–1350) by BILLY J. MCCARLEY Under the Direction of Jeffrey B. Glover, PhD ABSTRACT This study is about a Middle Mississippian (A.D. 1150-1350) burial mound site known as Oak Level Mound. Located in the back swamps of Bryan County, Georgia 2.4 km south of the Ogeechee River, the site is situated amongst Live Oak hammocks and palmettoes. The earthen architecture and material remains found at Oak Level Mound during the fall of 2012 and winter 2013 tell a tale of ancient people whose subsistence included oysters, snail, and nuts. Their daily practices are expressed in burial mounds and utilitarian and/or status goods, such as plain, cord-marked, and complicated-stamped pottery.

CONNECTING THE DOTS: A FOOD WEB OF THE LOWER OGEECHEE RIVER by ALLISON LUTZ (Under the Direction of Checo Colón-Gaud) ABSTRACT The Ogeechee is a fifth order river that originates in the Georgia Piedmont region and flows through the Coastal Plain region in the Southeastern portion of the state. The Ogeechee is one of the last unregulated rivers in Georgia; allowing for studies to occur under a natural flow regime. To my knowledge, studies that incorporate fish into ecological networks (e.g., food webs) are yet to be developed for the Ogeechee River, thus, one of the main objectives of this research was to address this knowledge gap. Five fish species were collected from June 2016 to October 2016 in order to construct a connectance food web in the Ogeechee to understand the role (i.e., trophic interactions) of major fish feeding guilds in relation to each other and to other consumer groups (i.e., macroinvertebrates) present in the river.

SIMONS SOUND OKEFENOKEE SWAMP CUMBERLAND ISLAND 2020’s Worst Offenses Against GEORGIA’S WATER GEORGIA WATER COALITION’S DIRTY DOZEN A Call to Action The Georgia Water Coalition’s Dirty Dozen report highlights the politics, policies and issues that threaten the health of Georgia’s water and the well-being of 10 million Georgians. The Dirty Dozen is not a list of the state’s “most polluted places.” Instead the report is a call to action for Georgia’s leaders and its citizens to solve ongoing pollution problems, eliminate potential threats to Georgia’s water and correct state and federal policies and actions that lead to polluted water. The problems highlighted in this tenth edition of the report span the length and breadth of the state from Columbus in the west to St. Simons on the coast and from the Etowah River in the north to the Satilla River in the south. But, the 2020 report is perhaps most notable for what’s NOT included. Earlier this month, Georgia voters approved a constitutional amendment that is the first step in restoring funding for Georgia’s environmental trust funds that pay for cleanups of hazardous waste and illegal tire dumps as well as other clean community programs. Tens of thousands of gallons of landfill leachate are trucked or piped to municipal sewage treatment plants The unethical diversion of funds from these programs by legislators around the state daily, but leachate can cause prob- lems at these facilities, leading to illegal discharges of has been included in the last four Dirty Dozen reports and multiple untreated sewage.
