Discover

Price Road Lithic Scatter, identified by the archaeological designation 9CR199, is in Charlton County, Georgia. A lithic scatter is a dispersed concentration of stone material associated with past human activity.

For this reason, the site is best approached as cultural heritage rather than as a conventional attraction organized around a display.

Archaeological places can be meaningful even when their significance is not immediately visible. Stone objects and fragments are considered not only for their form, but also for what careful study of their placement and associations may reveal. Moving or collecting an item can separate it from that context and diminish the information it carries. A respectful visit means observing without disturbing the ground or taking anything away.
