The study was funded in part by a National Park Service Survey and Planning Grant administered through the SC Department of Archives and History, the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resources Management, the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Beaufort County, the City of Charleston, the Town of Hilton Head Island, and the Town of Mount Pleasant. The study resulted in the identification of 154 sites, 106 of which were located with sufficient certainty to allow the assignment of an archaeological site number. The remaining 48 sites could not be identified in the field, either because the available information was insufficient or because the site had been destroyed. For all identified sites this research provides locational, assessment, and historical background data (only partially included in the public report to ensure the safety of the sites and the privacy of the owners). The research also provides an overview of the condition and preservation efforts to date. Recommendations are offered on preservation approaches and techniques specific to Civil War fortifications. For example, the work reveals that simply because a site is "green spaced" or "avoided" by a project (such as a road or development) does not mean that it has been preserved. We found that many such sites -- some actually on the National Register -- evidence continuing damage. Preservation requires proactive planning -- a practice which receives regrettably little attention or funding. Copies of the report have been widely distributed to public and research libraries throughout South Carolina and may be obtained through interlibrary loan.
