POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND PARASITE ANALYSES OF SEDIMENT SAMPLES FROM FORT ARGYLE, 9BN28, BRYAN COUNTY, GEORGIA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Paul M. Miller

Year: 2019

Summary

The Fort Argyle Site (9BN28) is situated upon a bluff on the west bank of the Ogeechee River on the eastern margin of the modern Fort Stewart US Army Reservation in Bryan County, Georgia. The site contains the historical Fort Argyle, which was an important early colonial outpost (AD 1733–1767). Eleven sediment samples collected primarily from palisade trenches were submitted for pollen and phytolith analysis in conjunction with Phase III archaeological work. In addition, individual samples represent a cellar, a pit, and the chimney base. Parasite analysis was also conducted on one of the sediment samples (Sample 343) from a cellar in Zone A. Analyses were conducted to determine an environmental signature of Fort Argyle and its surroundings during and shortly following its occupation.
