Drawing on his own search for evidence of the 1670-80 Charles Towne settlement, South (U. of South Carolina-Columbia) walks readers along the archaeological paths traveled by many researchers in the process of developing historic sites. He points out how the journey includes research in documents and the archaeological record, using the best methods of both, to understand the material cultural remains left behind by explorers and colonists from Europe and Africa and by Native American who lived in the area for millennia before the immigrants came. It also incorporates records of ethnographers and others who have observed Native American during the historical period. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From the reviews:
"[...] a major authority on method and theory in historical archaeology and an expert on the American Southeast, considers arhcaeological conservation, theory building, and historic site interpretation and restoration focusing on 1670-80 Charles Towne, South Carolina, and the Native American legacy that preceded European colonization. His well-documented compendium explicates "the process of historic site development for the education and entertainment of the visiting public", presenting a salient example of historic cultural resource management."
(Choice, 40:2, October 2002)
"The book is site reporting at its best. It is extremely well illustrated with numerous field excavation photographs, artifact plates, historical maps, and South's archaerological site plans, which rank among the most artistic and informative produced. This is an excellent site report and well worth the wait."
