Progress Report on Archaeological Exploration of Tabby Number 2, North End Plantation, Osssabaw Island

Summary

Historic preservation efforts to stabilize and restore the tabby buildings on the North End Plantation, Ossabaw Island, Georgia are currently being directed by the Ossabaw Island Foundation (OIF), in coordination with the Historic Preservation Division, Georgia Department ofNatural Resources (HPD, GDNR). The tabby buildings on this site were recently recognized as important cultural resources by the Save America's Treasures unit of the National Park Service. Archaeological study of the tabbys is one component of the restoration and stabilization effort. The present restoration plan by the historical architect requires the removal of soil to a level of an earlier floor level from Tabby Number 2. These historic preservation efforts for the architectural stabilization will impact the archaeological deposits within this dwelling. The LAMAR Institute was contracted by OIF to provide archaeological services as part of this restoration effort.
