Research Manuscript Series

Initiated in 1969, the Research Manuscript Series consists of technical monographs summarizing archaeological projects in South Carolina conducted by SCIAA personnel and collaborators. Many of these reports describe the results of excavations, but artifact analyses and ethnohistorical research are represented as well.

Woodland Occupation in the Upper Coastal Plain of South Carolina: An Archeological Reconnaissance of the Carolina Power and Light Company's Lake Robinson to Sumter 230 kV Transmission Line Corridor

Veletta Canouts

An archeological reconnaissance of the Lake Robinson to Sumter 230 kV transmission line used a probabilistic sampling design and predictive modeling to generate expectations about the nature of the archeological record in the upper Coastal Plain of South Carolina. The 62-km long corridor parallels the Fall Line sandhills. Six sites and three isolated finds were located in survey transects which comprised approximately 25% of the total corridor. Three historic sites were located on the better drained upland soils, conducive to the agrarian settlement in the area. Four of the prehistoric sites were identified as Woodland. These sites are compared with one another and with other Woodland sites in the various physiographic provinces of the state.

Archeological Survey of the Proposed Double Branch Interceptor Sewer: Lexington County, South Carolina

Jim Sexton

To assess the potential archeological impact by the proposed Double Branch Interceptor Sewer project for the City of West Columbia, the Institute of Archeology and Anthropology conducted a week long survey of the approximate four mile long sewerline right-of-way. The survey consisted of a pedestrian transect of the corridor to inspect exposed ground surfaces and a limited shovel testing program. Three sites were located adjacent to the right-of-way. If these sites are avoided during the construction phase, they should experience no adverse impacts. An archeological clearance is recommended for the fifty-foot right-of-way.
