Ancient sites threatened in Georgia

Nine previously unknown ancient archaeological sites, including a complex of 17 mounds, plus villages and workshops, have been found on land owned by Cherokee Brick and Tile Co.

Three of the sites, including the oldest, would be destroyed if the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approves Cherokee Brick and Tile Co.'s application to expand its clay mines.

From the Macon Telegraph. How much is that clay worth, I wonder?
