Final report

Description:

This book reports the results of archaeological excavation of a small cabin site occupied by a Gullah family on Hilton Head Island. The cabin dated to the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, and was a frame structure with a dirt floor. The excavations recovered numerous small artifacts lost by the family that lived there, including both Federal and Confederate uniform buttons. The cabin had a chimney made of salvaged brick and tabby. A shallow well was found in what had been the backyard of the cabin, which was also excavated.
