SiteByThe Atlanta Preservation Center FollowThe Atlanta Preservation CenterAtlanta, GAThursday, Mar 19, 2026 at 6:30 pm to Thursday, Mar 19, 2026 at 8:30 pmOverviewJoin the City of Atlanta and New South Associates for an update on the Chattahoochee Brick Co. archaeological process.The archaeological investigations of the Chattahoochee Brick Co. site are centered on a respectful, non-invasive exploration of the land’s complex history. Historical research and archaeology is led by New South Associates in partnership with the City of Atlanta as part of the broader planning and design process led by SCAPE Landscape Architecture. By integrating archival mapping with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and other techniques, the team is working to identify sensitive areas while navigating significant technical hurdles, including industrial debris interference, challenging topography, and the vital ethical mandate to avoid disturbing potential burial sites. As the project transitions into its next phase, these preliminary findings will be carefully integrated and interpreted into the overall concept by the MASS Design Group's Public Memory and Memorials Lab. Together, SCAPE and MASS will ensure the site's transformation into a memorial and park is guided by a thoughtful approach that prioritizes the sanctity of the land and the input of an emerging descendant community.Join us for a presentation to hear from Joe Joseph with New South Associates and the part of the project management team from the City of Atlanta. We will also have some dedicated time for Q&A.Join the City of Atlanta and New South Associates for an update on the Chattahoochee Brick Co. archaeological process.The archaeological investigations of the Chattahoochee Brick Co. site are centered on a respectful, non-invasive exploration of the land’s complex history.
