Archaeology internship opportunities are available through South Carolina State Parks. Students participating in these internships will acquire skills in excavation, site mapping, photography, and site interpretation, as well as laboratory methods. Students will also gain public archaeology skills, such as organizing volunteer labor and explaining archaeological work to park visitors. CHARLES TOWNE LANDING STATE HISTORIC SITE Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site is one of the premier archaeological sites in South Carolina, and one of the flagship historic sites within the South Carolina State Parks system. Archaeology students seeking a focus in Historical Archaeology will benefit from their time spent at Charles Towne Landing, where they will have the opportunity to excavate on a 17th century site and learn excavation techniques, detailed note taking, and how to prepare scaled drawings. Students will also learn how to process all artifacts, including artifact identification, metal conservation and artifact curation methods. COLONIAL DORCHESTER STATE HISTORIC SITE Located in Summerville, SC, Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site is an archaeological preserve under the management of the South Carolina Park Service. The site consists of an entire Colonial-era town (est. 1697) situated along the Ashley River. This historic site has been virtually undisturbed by modern development, offering a unique setting for historical archaeological research and preservation. Students interested in Historical Archaeology are presented with the opportunity to further develop their skills with the principles of archaeological field and lab methods. Additionally, students will learn how to orchestrate volunteer and public archaeology programs for school groups and adult education. HAMPTON PLANTATION STATE HISTORIC SITE Hampton Plantation State Historic Site, located in McClellanville, South Carolina was home to the Horry and Rutledge families and their enslaved workers for generations. The mansion house, detached kitchen, and overgrown rice fields are the few visible above ground remains of the plantation. Current archaeological investigations are focusing on a settlement area occupied by slaves from the eighteenth to nineteenth century. Students interested in an internship at Hampton Plantation can develop basic skills in field and lab methods, while focusing on eighteenth and nineteenth century artifact collections. Additionally, interns will assist in the field with volunteer archaeological excavations at Hampton Plantation in the Spring or Fall. Opportunities may be available for advanced students. Selected students will choose one aspect of the laboratory work (such as a specific artifact type i.e. buttons, beads, ceramics) and write a short paper or summary of the work. Summaries could lead to presentations at a local conference or lecture, published in the SC State Parks newsletter, or incorporated into the site report. .

And out of their dreams, they will finish the castle we once began - this time for keeps. Then the dreamer will become the doer. And the child, the father of the man.

2010 303(D) List Due to Standard Attainment, Identified Pollutant Or Listing Error
The State of South Carolina’s 2010 Integrated Report Part I: Listing of Impaired Waters INTRODUCTION The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Department) developed this priority list of waterbodies pursuant to Section §303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and Federal Regulation 40 CFR 130.7 last revised in 1992. The listing identifies South Carolina waterbodies that do not currently meet State water quality standards after application of required controls for point and nonpoint source pollutants. Use attainment determinations were made using water quality data collected from 2004-2008. Pollution severity and the classified uses of waterbodies were considered in establishing priorities and targets. The list will be used to target waterbodies for further investigation, additional monitoring, and water quality improvement measures, including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Over the past three decades, impacts from point sources to waterbodies have been substantially reduced through point source controls achieved via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Since 1990, steady progress in controlling nonpoint source impacts has also been made through implementation of South Carolina’s Nonpoint Source Management Program. In conjunction with TMDL development and implementation, the continued expansion and promotion of these and other state and local water quality improvement programs are expected to be effective in reducing the number of impaired waterbodies. In compliance with 40 CFR 25.4(c), the Department, beginning February 8, 2010, issued a public notice in statewide newspapers, to ensure broad notice of the Department's intent to update its list of impaired waterbodies. Public input was solicited.
