Yet, one does not have to be invited to a party to acknowledge this milestone. A simple drive up or down US Highway 17 through the ACE Basin between Beaufort and Charleston is enough to make anyone’s day. No resorts or huge cookie cutter neighborhoods. Just forests, marshes and rivers for the most part. When groups visit us here at Nemours, one of our tour stops is along a dike which borders a former rice field, now a managed tidal impoundment. On one side of the dike is that impoundment, the glamorously named Snipe Bog. On the other side are wild marsh and the Combahee River. After discussing what creatures are present, explaining the features of the managed impoundment versus the marsh, and answering questions, our director, Dr. Ernie Wiggers, always tells our guests that there is one other thing he really wants them to notice on the marsh side. “What do you see?” he’ll ask. Usually there is silence until some bold soul says “Nothing?”, and Dr. Wiggers will say they are correct. Nothing but marsh grasses, pluff mud and trees just beyond the river off in the distance. No condos or houses, no hotels or massive development.

    “ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” By Melissa L. Cooper A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Dr. Mia Bay and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2012 2012 Melissa L. Cooper ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” by Melissa L. Cooper Dissertation Director: Dr. Mia Bay ABSTRACT: The history of Sapelo Islanders in published works reveals a complex cast of characters, each one working through ideas about racial distinction and inheritance; African culture and spirituality; and the legacy of slavery during the most turbulent years in America’s race-making history. Feuding social scientists, adventure seeking journalists, amateur folklorists, and other writers, initiated and shaped the perception of Sapelo Islanders’ distinct connection to Africa during the 1920s and 1930s, and labeled them “Gullah.” These researchers characterized the “Gullah,” as being uniquely connected to their African past, and as a population among whom African “survivals” were readily observable. This dissertation argues that the popular view of Sapelo Islanders’ “uniqueness” was the product of changing formulations about race and racial distinction in America. Consequently, the “discovery” of Sapelo Island’s Gullah folk was more a sign of times than an anthropological discovery. This dissertation interrogates the intellectual motives of the researchers and writers who have explored Sapelo Islanders in their works, and argues that the advent of American Modernism, the development of new social scientific theories and popular cultural works during the 1920s and 1930s, and other trends shaped their depictions.

    EDISTO BEACH COASTAL STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION GENERAL INVESTIGATION STUDY APPENDIX F BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT COASTAL STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION GENERAL INVESTIGATION STUDY EDISTO BEACH, COLLETON COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA January 2014 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Edisto Beach is a barrier island located at the mouth of the Edisto River in Colleton and Charleston Counties, South Carolina, approximately 45 miles southwest of Charleston, South Carolina and approximately 20 miles east-northeast of Beaufort, South Carolina (see Figure 1). The incorporated Town of Edisto Beach is located on the island, as is Edisto Beach State Park. The specific study area (See Figure 2) includes Edisto Beach, two Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) zones (the Edisto Complex (Unit M09) to the northeast and Otter Island (Unit M10) to the southwest), and the coastal Atlantic Ocean waters where offshore borrow investigations will be conducted and potential borrow areas will be identified and located. The Town of Edisto Beach and Edisto Beach State Park are part of Edisto Island. They are separated from the main body of Edisto Island by Big Bay Creek, Scott Creek, and the associated salt marsh to the northwest and Jeremy Inlet to the northeast. The Town of Edisto Beach and Edisto Beach State Park are also bounded by the South Edisto River and St. Helena Sound to the southwest and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. The maximum width at the southern end of this portion of Edisto Island is approximately 1.5 miles, while the northern end is much narrower. The Town of Edisto Beach occupies the central and southern portions of the island and is generally separated from Edisto Beach State Park by State Highway 174, which provides the only access to the island.

    The Fig Island Ring Complex (38CH42): Coastal Adaptation and the Question of Ring Function in the Late Archaic edited by Rebecca Saunders with contributions by William Green, Gregory Heide, David S. Leigh, Michael Russo, Rebecca Saunders, and William Stanyard Principal Investigators: Dr. Rebecca Saunders Dr. Michael Russo Museum of Natural Science AND NPS, SEAC 119 Foster Hall 2035 E Paul Dirac Dr., Box 7 Louisiana State University Johnson Bldg, Suite 120 Baton Rouge, LA 70803 Tallahassee, FL 32310 Report prepared for the South Carolina Department of Archives and History under grant #45-01-16441 August 5, 2002 ABSTRACT This report describes fieldwork and laboratory analysis undertaken at the Late Archaic Fig Island site (38CH42), located on a marsh island associated with Edisto Island, off the South Carolina coast. The fieldwork and subsequent analysis were undertaken to address, in part, simple descriptive cultural historical concerns, such as what the site looked like, when the site was occupied, how the site was formed, what the artifact assemblage was like, and when the site was abandoned. A rigorous mapping program that included subsurface probing at 5 m intervals was undertaken to describe the topography and possible disturbances at the site; probing included determining shell depth within the rings in order to define the original topography and determine total volume of shell throughout the site. Soils analysis was included as part of this descriptive history, as the authors wished to learn more about the paleoenvironment when the site was occupied and to identify both anthropogenic and natural disturbances to the site. Fine screened invertebrate and vertebrate faunal samples were studied to learn more about the diet of the inhabitants of the site and to use seasonal information derived from these fauna to identify season(s) of site occupation.

  • Final Report of the Shoreline Change Advisory Committee
    ADAPTING TO SHORELINE CHANGE A Foundation for Improved Management and Planning in South Carolina Final Report of the Shoreline Change Advisory Committee April 2010 South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Financial assistance provided under Cooperative Agreement NA08NOS4190423 by the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, administered by the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The photographs in this report were taken by DHEC staff. The images illustrate South Carolina scenes and people. Aerial photography was provided under DHEC contract by Pictometry International Corp. Preamble The State of South Carolina should be commended for its foresight and early action on beachfront management issues. Recognizing increasing shoreline development and chronic erosion issues, the SC Coastal Council appointed a 25-member Blue Ribbon Committee on Beachfront Management in 1987 to make recommendations for long-term improvements in beach planning and management. Their recommendations created the foundation for the 1988 South Carolina Beachfront Management Act, and a state beach management program that was recognized nationally for its advancement of science-based policies to reduce coastal vulnerabilities and protect sensitive resources. Two decades later, there are now enhanced capacities at the local level, a number of lessons to be learned from policy and regulatory implementation, and growing attention to threats from chronic erosion and storms. We believe that this Committee was formed at the right time, to help our state reflect on two decades of beach management and identify continuing vulnerabilities and conflicts. Our report was intended to help clarify longstanding policy, reduce community vulnerabilities, resolve conflicts, improve public and private planning, save money, enhance key resource protections, reduce liabilities, and improve public access; but more generally, to ensure the long-term health of coastal shorelines and vitality of the coastal economy.
