Abstract:
This Phase II archaeological study dealt with eight sites (38SU155, 38SU192, 38SU199, 38SU233, 38SU290, 38SU292, 38SU293, 38SU294) at the Poinsett Electronic Combat Range (PECR) of Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter County, South Carolina. The sites include one historic dwelling (38SU155) and seven prehistoric camps located in the vicinity of Big Bay. Phase II investigations at each site included systematic shovel testing following by test unit excavations to delineate site dimensions and artifact distribution, identify features and site stratigraphy, and assess the content and integrity of each site. As a result of these phase II investigations recommendation were made concerning each site's National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility.
