Phase Iii Archaeological Investigations at 38Fl2, the Florence Stockade, Florence, South Carolina PHASE III ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT 38FL2, THE FLORENCE STOCKADE, FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA By: Paul G. Avery, RPA, and Patrick H. Garrow, RPA With contributions by: Judith A. Sichler, PhD, RPA, Kandace D. Hollenbach, PhD, and Nicholas P. Herrmann, PhD Submitted to: Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration 810 Vermont Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20420 Prepared by: MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. 1725 Louisville Drive Knoxville, Tennessee 37921 Patrick H. Garrow, RPA Principal Investigator MACTEC Project Number 6671050345 February 2008 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The Florence Stockade, an infamous Confederate prisoner of war camp, received its first prisoners on September 15, 1864. The prison covered approximately 23 acres south of Florence, South Carolina, and would house over 15,000 Union captives before it was abandoned in March of 1865. During this period, 2,800 of the prisoners died. The trenches in which most of them were buried were incorporated into the Florence National Cemetery, now controlled by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, National Cemetery Administration (VA). Today, the Florence National Cemetery contains approximately 9,000 interments and extends south of the original cemetery across National Cemetery Road. With space in the existing cemetery quickly dwindling, the VA planned to expand the cemetery onto a 10-acre tract immediately to the south. Although it was known that the project area was adjacent to the site of the Florence Stockade, it did not encroach on the recorded boundaries of the site, 38FL2. Clearing of the property began in early 2005. The Friends of the Florence Stockade notified the VA and the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of the potential historic importance of the proposed expansion area. As a result, TRC was hired by MACTEC Engineering and Consulting (MACTEC) to conduct Phase II archaeological testing of the area, which indicated that the area may have been used in the support of the Stockade in some capacity. Based on the results of the archaeological testing and TRC’s preliminary historical research, MACTEC was contracted by the VA to conduct a Phase III archaeological data recovery on the portion of site 38FL2 lying within the expansion area. Field work began on April 17, 2006 and was completed on August 8, 2006. The field methodology included the removal of the plow zone from nine acres of the 10-acre area, with limited excavation of the remaining acre. Exposed features were then recorded and a sample of them excavated. As a result, 372 previously unrecorded features were identified, for a total of 521 features when combined with those recorded during the Phase II testing. Of these, 179 features were excavated. A wide variety of feature types were recorded, including structures, trenches, privies and slit trenches, wells, pits, posts, trees/disturbances and prehistoric pits. From these features, 5,828 historic and 228 prehistoric artifacts were recovered. Based on the feature types identified and the artifacts recovered, it was apparent that the project area encompassed a portion of the camp of the Confederate soldiers charged with guarding the stockade. This was further indicated by the extensive documentary research conducted during this project. It appears that the eastern end of the camp was encountered, while more of it may extend off of the property to the west. The excavations at the Florence Stockade represented a rare opportunity to examine a relatively undisturbed Confederate camp inhabited for a short period of time by rear-echelon personnel. While a great deal of historical research has focused on the Stockade, this project represents one of the first professional studies of the day-to-day life of the guards. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The success of any major archaeological project is dependent on many people. The excavations at the Florence Stockade were certainly no exception, and the list of individuals and organizations that have contributed is extensive. Ms. Lu Richards of the National Cemetery Administration, Veteran’s Administration, served as our client contact and was vital in coordinating our efforts with the Florence National Cemetery. The onsite staff at the Florence National Cemetery, especially Ms. Elfrieda Robinson and Mr. Wayne Graham, were always interested in our work and were extremely helpful in many ways, from sharing their observations of the site to allowing us the use of their water faucet. Ms. Valerie Marcil of the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, provided clear guidance and valuable advice throughout the project. Her interest and assistance was greatly appreciated. Ms. Fran Knight of the same office reviewed the draft report and greatly improved the manuscript through her comments. The members of the Friends of the Florence Stockade have worked for the preservation of the site for many years and were instrumental in initiating the process that culminated in the current project. Many of the Friends spent time with us in the field and shared their extensive knowledge of the Stockade and its history. I am especially appreciative of the help provided by J.R. and Marshia Fisher, Sandy Kendall, Carl Hill, Ken Howle and Reverend Albert Ledoux. Management of a project such as this is no small task. MACTEC project management was provided by Allen Conger, along with Eduardo Padron and Jerry Archer. A special thanks goes to Roger Franklin, who had the foresight to help our program grow. We were fortunate enough to be assisted by an exceptional heavy equipment operator. John Clauser of Of Grave Concerns has over 30 years of experience as an archaeologist and provided not only his skills as an operator but sage advice when requested. The one thing that a field director must have for a project to be successful is a good crew. Our crew was excellent. They worked extremely hard and did great work through days on end of extreme heat. The crew included Mandy Edwards, Cody Howard, Dan Marcel, Colleen McConnell and Brady Witt. Their contribution can not be overstated. Thanks to the folks in the MACTEC archaeology lab that washed, sorted, catalogued and bagged the artifacts. A special thanks to Chad Caswell who single-handedly processed hundreds of flotation samples and prepared most of the drawings for the report. Dr. Joe Joseph of Newsouth Associates identified the maker of some of the stoneware from the camp and materially aided the artifact analyses. ii Finally, John Mason, Senior Geologist with MACTEC in Knoxville and avid student of Civil War history, shared his extensive library of sources on the material used during the war. His books and his expertise allowed for the identification of many artifacts that might have gone unknown otherwise. His generosity was truly appreciated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page MANAGEMENT SUMMARY ........................................................................................... i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................ ii LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... vii LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. xi CHAPTER 1.

  • Roman Britain
    Roman Britain Hadrian s Wall - History Vallum Hadriani - Historia “ Having completely transformed the soldiers, in royal fashion, he made for Britain, where he set right many things and - the rst to do so - drew a wall along a length of eighty miles to separate barbarians and Romans. (The Augustan History, Hadrian 11.1)” Although we have much epigraphic evidence from the Wall itself, the sole classical literary reference for Hadrian having built the Wall is the passage above, wrien by Aelius Spartianus towards the end of the 3rd century AD. The original concept of a continuous barrier across the Tyne-Solway isthmus, was devised by emperor Hadrian during his visit to Britain in 122AD. His visit had been prompted by the threat of renewed unrest with the Brigantes tribe of northern Britain, and the need was seen to separate this war-like race from the lowland tribes of Scotland, with whom they had allied against Rome during recent troubles. Components of The Wall Hadrian s Wall was a composite military barrier which, in its nal form, comprised six separate elements; 1. A stone wall fronted by a V-shaped ditch. 2. A number of purpose-built stone garrison forti cations; Forts, Milecastles and Turrets. 3. A large earthwork and ditch, built parallel with and to the south of the Wall, known as the Vallum. 4. A metalled road linking the garrison forts, the Roman Military Way . 5. A number of outpost forts built to the north of the Wall and linked to it by road. 6. A series of forts and lookout towers along the Cumbrian coast, the Western Sea Defences .

  • The Writing of Andersonville
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Iowa Research Online The Writing of Andersonville MacKINLAY KANTOR Nearly thirty years ago The University of Iowa Libraries received, as a gift from Iowa author MacKinlay Kantor, the original manuscript of Kantor’s Pulitzer prize-winning novel Andersonville. The “manuscript” of this Civil War novel, which concerns the notorious Confederate prison camp for Union soldiers in southern Georgia, consists of a series of author’s notes, several successive drafts or revisions, a final manuscript, and proof pages as well as an international file of press clippings. At the request of the library director Mr. Kantor subsequently prepared the following account of the writing of Andersonville, which is published here with the permission of the author’s son, Tim Kantor. Editor This discussion of the writing of Andersonville should serve as an adequate explanatory outline for full understanding of the manuscript— its appearance and condition. I started writing the novel on December 16, 1953, and finished it on May 25, 1955. The first few pages (beginning with the scene where Ira Claffey walks through the woods away from his plantation) were written on my old L. C. Smith typewriter, for sentimental reasons. This is a machine rebuilt from two other old L. C. Smiths—the one used by my mother throughout her editing of the Webster City Daily News (1921-1925) and another (second-hand) one which I bought during those years for my own use. Later, as the typewriters began to show wear and tear despite frequent overhaulings, the two were built into one machine.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

After Andersonville: Survivors, Memory and the Bloody Shirt Abstract This article details the experiences of survivors of the Andersonville prison camp after the Civil War. Feeling marginalized by the public after returning to the North, prisoners of war worked to demonstrate that their experiences were exceptional enough to merit the same kind of respect and adoration given to other war veterans. In particular survivors utilized the strategy of "waving the bloody shirt," describing purported Confederate atrocities at the camp to a Northern audience looking for figures to blame for the horrors of war. Through prison narratives, veteran organizations, the erection of memorials, and reunions years later, Andersonville survivors worked to establish

  • Introduction
    Introduction I cannot, in all honesty, claim to be a believer in reincarnation. I am neither for nor against the concept, though I find the entire notion of having lived on this Earth in other forms fascinating. I want to believe in it; but having no clear proof that I have, in previous lifetimes, been a cow, a wolf, a cockroach, or a king, I prefer to tell myself, “I do not know.” And yet I cannot explain why, since my earliest recollections, I’ve found myself inexorably drawn to old stone structures—to stone houses, old bridges and monuments, colonial-era walls, and, most of all, to castles. Of course, the irony of these early childhood memories is that I was born and raised in Flushing, Queens—a place not immediately associated with ancient armies and soaring ramparts. I simply knew that whenever I was in the presence of any historic site, I felt a powerful, secret con- nection to that structure. Something welling within my subconscious would stop me in my place: “Yes,” my inner voice would tell me, “this is correct; this is where I belong.” On school field trips to the famous Cloisters, in Fort Tryon Park, Manhattan, I would quietly slip away from my teacher and classmates and walk reverently toward the huge central tower, with its expansive perimeter walls. I would make my way to the west-facing stoneworks and gaze out at the Hudson River below, then across to the rising cliffs of the Palisades, in New Jersey. I’d let myself drift away, pretend I was one of my childhood heroes, the legendary Spanish knight Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar—known to history as “El Cid Compeador,” the Lord Champion.

The site has been recorded by several surveys, and was subjected to salvage excavations from 2003-2007. This excavation confirmed multiple components identified in previous surveys, and added a wider chronological range and occupation area. Current excavations also identified a palisade that appeared to have been built before all of the adjacent Mississippian structures, as well as one of the mounds. Using stratigraphy, GIS, and ceramic analysis, the date of this palisade was determined to be Late Woodland or Early Mississippian.
