Digging set to start at Civil War site

Archaeologists and Civil War experts are teaming up to search for artifacts at a battle site near the Oconee River in northeast Georgia. Next week, the group will begin digging at the site of the 1864 Battle of Barber's Creek. The goal is to attract funding for a potential park. Archaeologists also are planning to dig at a Revolutionary War-era fort in nearby Oconee County.
