Listeros,

Archaeologists have uncovered two palisaded villages at the site of  
the proposed Macon County Airport runway extension dated to 1100 CE.  
Palisaded villages at this date in this region had been unknown.  
Artifacts being uncovered go back as far as 2000 BCE. Vertical  
palisades or fences were erected at 1100 CE to fortify homesteads at  
the site. Most of the remains at the site date back to the Woodland  
Period at 500 CE.
Archaeologists are stating that the site is rich with artifacts and  
finds.
