Author(s): Paul P. Kreisa; Michael Kell; Steven D. Smith

Year: 1997

Summary

From September through December 1996 crews from the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University of South Carolina and the Public Service Archaeology Program of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign conducted Phase I archaeological survey of 284 acres at Shaw Air Force Base, Sumter County, and Wateree Recreational Area, Kershaw County, South Carolina, for the United States Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories. The investigations were designed to identify archaeological resources present at both locales and to provide recommendations for the National Register of Historic Places status of all sites located, and were conducted to fulfill base obligations under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The survey resulted in the identification of five prehistoric and historic archaeological sites and six isolated finds. It is recommended that none of the located sites or isolated finds is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. No further work is recommended at the identified sites or isolated finds.
