Classwork?
I have noted the creation of your article and Park Mound, an article about another archaeological site in Georgia (also excavated by David Hally, by the way) on the same day, and I have to wonder if the articles have been created as part of a class project. In any case, dealing with your article, I see two main problems: the article does not cite any sources, and the subject may not be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. The first issue is probably easy enough to deal with -- simply list the source you used for your information. The second issue is not so easy. Archaeology students go into the field every day to dig up little bits of arcana -- such digs are not notable unless they discover information significant enough to merit notice by other archaeologists (i.e. other archaeologists write about the findings) or the public at large (i.e. news or magazine articles get written). Hally's work on the Pott's Tract site appears to have been cited by one or two others -- this may not constitute the necessary notability. If you can bolster the article to improve these issues, it will stand a much better chance of not being deleted. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
