Site 2
Site 38CH
Cultural Affiliation – 18th – 19th Century
Site Type – Scatter
Site Dimensions –35 meters North-South by35 meters East-West
UTM Coordinates – E 583105, N 3648641
Elevation – 14 meters amsl
Nearest Water Source – Federwitz branch of the Ashley-Combahee-Edisto rivers
Present Vegetation – Mixed pine and hardwood forest
NRHP Recommendations – Not Eligible / no further work
Site 2 is a 45-meter north-south by 15 meter east-west surface and subsurface
scatter of prehistoric ceramics. The site is bounded to the on all sides by woodland
within the project APE (see Figure 2 for the location of Site 2 within the APE). Two
consecutive negative shovel tests (those containing no artifacts) at 15-meter intervals
were used to define all boundaries of the site. Figure 17 presents a plan of Site 2.
Norfolk and Dothan sandy loams is found at the site, overlying a compact
yellowish brown clay subsoil. Soils at Site 2 consist of [munsell] brownish grey sandy
loam from 0-30 cm below surface (bs) underlain by [munsell] yellowish brown sandy
loam from 30-50 cm bs. These were underlain by a [munsell] medium grey clay from
50+ cm bs. Artifacts were observed between 0-30 cm bs.
Artifacts recovered from Site 2 include two Pre-Contact artifacts, and ten PostContact artifacts. Pre-Contact artifacts include two residual pottery sherds. Post-Contact
artifacts include fragments of olive green, colorless, and aqua window glass, undecorated
creamware (1762-1820), grey bodied brown salt glazed stoneware, a brick fragment, one
square nail, and an unidentified iron fragment. For a complete artifact inventory by
provenience, see Appendix A.

We assessed site 38BU2157 with respect to Criterion D, its ability to add
significantly to our understanding of the history of the region. The site contains a surface
and subsurface scatter of 18th and 19th century artifacts. No evidence of darkly discolored
soil or concentrations of artifacts indicative of subsurface deposits or features was
observed in any of the shovel tests excavated at the site. Generally, the ceramic artifacts
are small (less than 3.0 cm in maximum dimension). Soils at the site are moderately
disturbed due to past logging and plowing activity. There is little to no potential for
intact subsurface features to be present at the site. Additional investigation of Site 1 is
unlikely to generate additional information concerning the Post-Contact period or landuse practices in the region. Therefore, we recommend Site 2 not eligible for the NRHP.
Further management consideration of Site 2 is not warranted.
