Author(s): Ralph Bailey; Brent Lansdell; Scott Butler; Charles F. Phillips Jr.

Summary

Brockington and Associates, Inc., undertook testing investigations at 38CH463, 38CH1774,

38CH1775, and 38CH1777 on the Grimball Farms Tract in January - March 2004. We recommend

sites 38CH463 and 38CH1777 not eligible for the NRHP. We recommend sites 38CH1774 and

38CH1775 eligible for the NRHP. These sites cannot be preserved and development activities at

these sites will have an adverse effect on the sites. We recommend data recovery excavations at

38CH1774 and 38CH1775 to mitigate the loss of important information at these sites. Data recovery

should be managed through a Memorandum of Agreement with the Ginn Company the State Historic

Preservation Office (SHPO) and the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control Office

of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM).

Notes

General Note: The investigation and excavation of the Grimball tract, for this report, concluded that several of the previously recorded sites were associated with incorrect areas. The report also documented the immense amount of erosion and landscape changes which have greatly affected any possible information that could be gained by protecting the entire tract. Sites 38CH1774 and 38CH1775 were still deemed potentially eligible for protection under the NRHP act and plans were made to protect the sites.
