  Horse Range Swamp Watershed Survey

  Leland G. Ferguson and Mary P. Luttrell

  Archaeological survey was conducted by the Institute of Archeology and Anthropology, University of South Carolina during the first week of December, 1972 in the Horse Range Swamp Watershed District, located in eastern Orangeburg County, South Carolina. A stream channel improvement program sponsored by local organizations--the Horse Range Swamp Conservation District and the Orangeburg Soil and Water Conservation District--is scheduled to begin early in January, 1973. Archaeological survey revealed a sparse distribution of Archaic and Early Woodland sites in the area. No sites were found in the path of the proposed construction. Thus, survey results indicate that there is little possibility that stream channel improvement will destroy any significant archaeological sites.

  A House on Cambridge Hill (38GN2): An Excavation Report

  Steven G. Baker

  Archeological investigation of a house ruin at the site of the extinct community of Cambridge, South Carolina, was completed in 1971 as part of a larger project at the site of Holmes' Fort (38GN2), one of the defensive works at the Revolutionary War Site of Ninety Six. The ruin examined consisted of the brick lined cellar of a house believed to have been constructed in the 1785 period when Cambridge first began to develop as a community. The house was moved or torn down in the late eighteenth or very early nineteenth century, and the cellar hole was subsequently used as a refuse dump until sometime prior to 1820. Examination of the ruin indicated the structure's lifespan correlates with the known period of growth and decline of the community and provided detailed information on construction phases and details of the cellar. An important by-product of the excavation was the recovery of an unusually large and varied assemblage of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century creamware and pear1ware ceramics as well as a wide assortment of temporally corresponding artifacts of many categories, including other ceramic types. On a wider front, the investigations have provided insight into the cultural development of the Carolina backcountry in the post-Revolutionary period and have added an important comparative component for the examination of earlier periods of the site's history.

  Letter Report on Ninety Six Pottery Fragments

  Ivor Noel Hume

  A 2 1/2 page letter from Ivor Noel Hume, Director/Department of Archaeology at Colonial Williamsburg, to Richard R. Polhemus at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology. In the letter, Noel Hume states that he can be of little help in identifying the fragments which were in the list sent by Polhemus on Dec. 14 beyond the identification Polhemus has no doubt already made, although he does provide some commentary on selected fragments and marks. Following the letter is the eight page fragment list that was sent to Noel Hume by Polhemus.

  Exploratory Excavation in the Yard of the John Fox House

  Richard Polhemus

  The archeological investigation of the John Fox House (38LX3l) was sponsored by the Lexington County Historical Society and undertaken by the Institute of Archeology and Anthropology, University of South Carolina. The exploratory excavation behind the John Fox House was made to locate any significant features which might be altered or damaged by future development. The excavation was carried out during two weeks in February 1971 by Richard Polhemus and John Jameson of the Institute of Archeology and Anthropology. No work was done on the main structure which is still standing in a good state of preservation. The primary purpose of the excavation was to locate and interpret outbuildings known to have existed in the rear of the main structure.
