Documentary Research of the Lumber River Basin,
Abstract
Documentary research was made of historic and pre-historic sites in the Lumber River Basin. The area of research included portions of three counties in South Carolina (Horry, Marion, and Dillon), and portions of nine counties in North Carolina (Columbus, Bladen, Robeson, Cumberland, Hoke, Scotland, Moore, Montgomery, and Richmond). As sites were noted and analyzed, they were indicated on USGS Maps, furnished by the Corps of Engineers. Using the 'Predictive Model for Locating Sites in Eastern North Carolina' (prepared by Miss Melanie Coats for the North Carolina Bureau of Archives and History), as well as 17 years of archeological experience in the Basin area, Recon. Areas were indicated on the USGS Maps. All known sites were evaluated for cultural importance on the basis of existing information. Potential impacts of structural water resource development activities were projected for each site on the basis of its cultural importance. This report is structured around the geographical locations as presented in the USGS Quads, beginning at the termination point of the Lumber River and moving to its source; therefore, each site discussion is made on the relevant Quad Map. In each Quad, all sites (both historic and prehistoric) are reported and evaluated.
