Toynbee Civilization on Trial ii ABSTRACT This study provides further information on the prehistoric and historic archaeology of Spring and Callawassie islands in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Incorporated in this report is a discussion of the previous archaeological research on both islands, an intensive archaeological survey of the undeveloped portions of Callawassie Island, and excavations at five prehistoric sites. The prehistoric sites investigated include 38BU19, a village area associated with a Late Woodland St. Catherines and Savannah phase burial mound; 38BU464, a second Late Woodland St. Catherines and Savannah phase village area possibly associated with the mound; 38BU12l4, a late Early Woodland Deptford phase shell midden site on Spring Island; and 38BU1249 and 38BU1262, both shell midden sites on Callawassie Island which exhibit Early through Late Woodland occupation. Site 38BU12l4 also contains a significant late eighteenth and early nineteenth historic period site consisting of an isolated, ephemeral domestic structure. The investigations include a detailed discussion of the excavations, artifact categories, and site formation processes for the prehistoric sites. Of particular concern is the analysis of the cordage characterizing the late Early through Late Woodland Deptford, St. Catherines, and Savannah series wares. In addition, the study incorporated radiometric dating of several components, palynological excavation of- the sites, analysis of shellfish remains, and a detailed discussion of the faunal and ethnobotanical materials recovered. For Callawassie Island a detailed discussion of the tabby structures, including a sugar mill, slave settlement, and main settlement, has been incorporated. The Callawassie Island sugar mill is the only such structure reported for South Carolina, but is similar to others identified in Georgia. Unfortunately, all of the historic settlements on Callawassie Island are located in areas either currently developed or sold to private individuals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures . vi List of Tables .... vii Acknowledgements ... viii Introduction ..

    2012/2013 Entry-level Salary Information for Recent Graduates in Agriculture and Related Disciplines Each year, participating agricultural colleges across the nation provide data to summarize entry-level salaries of recent graduates of their programs. The information is useful to help illustrate industry trends and provide appropriate baselines for both students and employers. The summary, which is coordinated by Iowa State University, includes information collected by career services offi ces from December 2012 and May 2013 undergraduates. After the data are tabulated, the summary is fi nalized in August of each year and disseminated to contributing schools for appropriate use. This year, the participating universities were: Auburn University - College of Agriculture Clemson University – College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Sciences Colorado State University – Warner College of Natural Resources and College of Agricultural Sciences Iowa State University – College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Michigan State University – College of Agriculture and Natural Resources The Ohio State University – College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Oklahoma State University – College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Purdue University – College of Agriculture Texas A&M University – College of Agriculture and Life Sciences University of Georgia – College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences University of Illinois – College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences University of Kentucky – College of

  • Creating Cumberland Island National Seashore
    @3 Creating Cumberland Island National Seashore During the later years of the Lucy Car- negie trust, the heirs considered a variety of options for the island’s future: cattle ranching, hotel and recreation development, titanium mining, and outright sale to developers. Each of these decisions conflicted with a core belief that the futures of the Carnegie family and Cumberland Island were irrevocably linked. This attachment was by no means universal among the heirs, but it was a strong bond that crossed generations in the five family branches. In the important meetings of the late 1940s and early 1950s, the heirs sought a way to maintain the island’s character and their presence on it. These desires crystallized into an invitation to the National Park Service to consider Cumberland Island as a possible new park. The agency responded quickly and enthusiastically, initiating a nearly two-decade process that led to the creation of Cumberland Island National Seashore in 1972. As is typi- cal with efforts to establish new units of the national park system, especially those where the federal government does not already own the land, the road to legislative establishment was littered with obstacles, unwelcome compe- tition, and considerable division of opinion among all the people with a stake in Cumberland Island’s future. The National Park Service and Coastal Recreation Congress established the National Park Service on August 25, 1916, to man- age an aggregate of thirty-five national parks and monuments located pri- marily in the West.1 The secretary of the interior chose two men to lead the 76 young agency, the first director, Stephen Mather, and his lieutenant and Creating Cumberland Island National Seashore 77 successor, Horace Albright.

  • Amphibian Diversity in the Georgia Sea Islands: Land
    AMPHIBIAN DIVERSITY IN THE GEORGIA SEA ISLANDS: LAND‐USE HISTORY AND LANDSCAPE CONTEXT by Nancy Kay O’Hare (Under the direction of Marguerite Madden) ABSTRACT Amphibian declines have been noted worldwide, but recent inventories are lacking for many state and federal conservation lands. How can future changes be addressed if present‐ day species diversity is unknown? The Georgia Sea Islands is a region of islands isolated by tidal salt marshes and rivers; it includes 35 conservation units, ranging from small parcels to entire islands. Most islands have an extensive land‐use history and limited freshwater resources to support amphibian breeding. This study integrated a herpetofaunal inventory from a previously unstudied site (Wormsloe, Isle of Hope) with recent amphibian trapping data for four federal parks in the region and literature records of amphibian diversity for seven other islands (12 islands total). Landscape characteristics, including microtopographic features influencing freshwater resources, were also determined. The islands supported 23 of the 26 amphibians occurring on the adjacent mainland, but individual islands supported between 5 and 19 species. Species occurring across more islands tended to have greater total reproductive output (longer life span, greater number of eggs) and a shorter tadpole/larval stage (<60 days). Larger islands supported more species; however, the relationship between island size and species diversity was more idiosyncratic on smaller islands. Island size, geological age, and habitat (gamma) diversity were correlated, so it was not possible to separate their effects. Dispersal was limited more by the matrix of freshwater rivers and tidal marshes separating islands rather than by distance. Canals at Wormsloe, a land‐use legacy feature common across many other islands, allowed tidal influx inland into seasonal freshwater ponds approximately 50 days per year.
