Architectural Survey of the Proposed Williston Bypass, Barwell County, South Carolina, And Archaeological Survey of the Proposed U.S. 78 Improvements, Aiken to Elko, Aiken and Barnwell Counties, South Carolina

Author(s): C.S. Butler; M. Virginia Markham

Year: 1995

Summary

"This study was carried out as part of planning for improvement of Highway U.S. 78 in Aiken and Barnwell Counties. The report describes results of background and archival history research, intensive architectural resources and archaeological survey. Much of the archival research relating to the Williston area was previously conducted in 1992 and included the study by Butler and Poplin (1992b). The archival research included a review of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listings located at the Department of Archives and History, examination of historic maps of the region curated at the South Caroliniana Library (University of South Carolina), and a search of local history sources at the Aiken, Barnwell, and Bamberg County Libraries. Local and regional sources were reviewed to identify persons and/or events significant in local or regional history which could be associated with sites or historic resources located within the project corridor."

Notes

General Note: "No previously recorded sites were located within the project corridor. Examination of the South Carolina State Site Files showed seventeen sites recorded by previous researchers within 3500 ft (1067 m) of the project corridor (Figures 4 and 10). The seventeen sites identified during the present study diverge considerably from the pattern indicated by the previously recorded sites. Previous researchers encountered both prehistoric and historic site types in similar numbers. The present survey recorded a greater number of historic site types than prehistoric site types. Table 6 shows this comparison. This discrepency may be due to the fact that over half of the present project survey corridor occurred adjacent to existing U.S. 78; historic sites would be expected to occur adjacent to a source of transportation and commerce."
