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 settlement patterns and soil types, to offer some preliminary reconstruction of the aboriginal settlement pattern on the island and to briefly trace the development of the island through the historic period.application/pdfDocumentCopyright by Chicora Foundation, Inc.Spring Island (S.C.)--AntiquitiesIndians of North America--South Carolina--Spring Island--AntiquitiesExcavations (Archaeology)--South Carolina--Spring IslandText
