Stanley A. South

Opis

This extensively documented work explores the historic site of Charles Towne, South Carolina. In his excavation, Stanley South discovered the artifacts from not only the European occupation of the late-1600's but also the earlier remains of Native American settlements. In this work, South criticizes archaeologists who discover artifacts only from the historic period they are focusing on and ignore the evidence from other equally important periods. This excavation and research from one of the foremost historical archaeologists in America should prove a valuable resource to historical archaeologists, historians and anthropologists, especially those involved in the southeastern United States.
