Summary

"This study reports on data recovery excavations conducted at five lots (number 85, 87, 89, 91, and 93) on the south side of Broad Street between King Street to the east and Meeting Street to the west. The work, conducted in 1996, was under the purview of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The lead federal agency throughout the project was the GSA. While a management summary was produced, the final report was not completed until now, over 20 years later. Historical research was conducted at not only those lots to be impacted by construction, but also those to be used as lay-down yards. The field investigations excavated 1,025 square feet (not including several thousand more feet monitored during stripping operations). Coupled with monitoring, this work allowed the investigation of 17 features, including three cisterns and five wells. Artifacts recovered span the period from about 1710 through 1920. Over 116,000 artifacts were recovered, more we believe than recovered from any urban archaeological investigation in Charleston. Perhaps most significantly, our work reveals that in spite of the decades of research conducted in Charleston and the significant advances made in understanding the city, there is still much unrecorded and unstudied variety that requires attention"--, Provided by publisher
