Archaeological test excavations at 38CH644, Buck Hall Burial Mound, Francis Marion National Forest, Charleston County, South Carolina

Abstract

This study reports on brief excavations conducted at the Buck Hall Recreation site (38CH644) in the Francis Marion National Forest during February 1983. This study documents the extension of Middle Woodland sand burial mounds · southward from the North Carolina coast into Charleston County. This suggests that the use of burial mounds, at least among coastal groups, was a more common trait than previously thought.
