Cultural Resources Survey of the Boatright Tract

Summary

"On 2-3 March 2006, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive cultural

resources survey of the Boatright Tract in Dorchester County, South Carolina. These investigations

were completed for Brentwood Homes of Charleston, South Carolina. This survey was requested

in compliance with state laws and federal regulations concerning the management of historical

properties (i.e., archaeological sites, buildings, structures, objects, or districts listed on or eligible

for the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP]) affected by 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

15- and 30-meter intervals across the tract.

Investigators identified one site (38DR320) during the cultural resources survey of the

Boatright Tract. We recommend site 38DR320 not eligible for the NRHP. No further management

consideration of this archaeological site is warranted. Further management of the Boatright Tract

as currently designed with regard to cultural resources is not warranted."
