Cultural Resources Survey of the Morgan Tract G-1E Parcel and Road A-2

Summary

"In May 2007, investigators with Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted a cultural resources survey of the Morgan Tract G-1E Parcel and Road A-2 in Jasper County, South Carolina. The surveyed areas include the 154-acre G-1E Parcel, as well as a proposed road (Road A-2) which connects the G-1E Parcel to the previously surveyed connector Road A-1 and US Highway 278 to the north. The investigations were conducted for MFM Properties, LLC, and Thomas & Hutton Engineering Company to provide compliance with state and federal regulations concerning the management of historic properties (i.e., sites, buildings, structures, objects, and districts eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places) affected through development activities in the Coastal Zone of South Carolina.

The cultural resources survey included a review of land ownership and use recorded in public documents, a review of previous investigations near the tract, and the excavation of shovel tests at 30-meter intervals across the project area.

Investigators identified no archaeological sites or isolated finds during the survey of the Morgan Tract G-1E Parcel and Road A-2. No standing structures are present within or adjacent to the project tract. Further management of the Morgan Tract G-1E Parcel and Road A-2 with regard to cultural resources is not warranted. Proposed land-disturbing activities in the Morgan Tract G-1E Parcel and Road A-2 will not affect any historic properties and should be allowed to proceed without further management consideration."
