Summary

Brockington and Associates, Inc. conducted archaeological testing of 29 sites on the Charleston Naval Weapons Station in Berkeley and Charleston Counties in the fall of 1998 and spring of 1999. The work was conducted for the Southern Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command under a subcontract with Ecology and Environment, Inc., of New York (Contract No. 822. VM07.00.01.96).

Sites 38BK1682, 38BK1683, and 38BK1684 are recommended eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as contributing elements of a proposed Parnassus Plantation Historic District. This district also should include 38BK1677 and 38BK1681 which were not tested in this project. Sites 38BK1688, 38BK1693, 38BK1694, 38BK1698, 38BK1699, 38BK1722 are recommended eligible for the NRHP as contributing elements of a proposed Foster Creek Discontiguous Historic District. In addition to being recommended contributing elements of the proposed Foster Creek Historic District, sites 38BK1693 and 38BK1694 also are recommended eligible for the NRHP individually. Sites 38BK1678/1679, 38BK1706, 38BK1712, and 38BK1720 are recommended eligible for the NRHP individually. The proposed historic districts and the individual sites recommended eligible for the NRHP should be nominated to the NRHP and preserved in place.

The following sites are recommended not eligible for the NRHP: 38BK1685, 38BK1686, 38BK1689-38BK1691, 38BK1700, 38BK1702-38BK1704, 38BK1709, 38BK1710, 38BK1718, and 38BK1719. Ground disturbance at these sites will have no effect on significant cultural resources. Additional management of these resources is not warranted.
