Abstract
This study represents a preliminary historical and intensive archaeological survey of the 275 acre Longpoint Development, situated in Mount Pleasant, Charleston County at the confluence of Horlbeck and Boone Hall creeks. The primary purpose of this investigation was to identify and assess the archaeological remains present in the proposed development, although secondary goals were to examine the relationship between aboriginal and historic settlement patterns and soil types and to explore the economic activity associated with what appeared to be a small, but successful plantation.
