Camden: Historical Archaeology in the South Carolina Backcountry

CAMDEN: HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA BACKCOUNTRY represents a unique longitudinal study of 25 years of a single site from the colonial era. It uses the distinctive methodology of historical archaeology to investigate behavior associated with a temporal process of change, thereby illuminating the adaptive behavior of colonists. It is also an important study methodologically because it employs a systematic approach to the investigation of large, complex sites using a combination of documentary and material evidence.
