POLLEN AND PHYTOLITH ANALYSIS FOR THE JERVEY PLANTATION (38CH927) AND THE YAUGHAL PLANTATION (38CH932), SOUTH CAROLINA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2004

Summary

Five combination pollen and phytolith samples were examined from five features at the

Jervey Plantation (38CH927) and the Yaughal Plantation (38CH932) to identify crops that might

have been grown at these sites. Historic studies of plantations in this area focus on recovery of

indigo and upland swamp rice for early occupations and cotton for nineteenth century

occupations. The builder's trench of the main plantation house was examined at the Jervey

Plantation. Various features, including a shell pit, a possible pier pit, a builder's trench, and a

possible historic garden or planter were examined from the Yaughal Plantation.
