Before Charles Towne

Native Americans settled here centuries before English colonists founded Charles Towne.

State Parks

The switch to corn-based agriculture during the Mississippian period led to the rise of permanent villages. Since the Native Americans did not leave a written record we rely on archaeological evidence to interpret their lifeways. Burned corn cobs and stone tools indicate their reliance on agriculture. Artifacts like pottery, jewelry and bone tools reflect the daily activities of the inhabitants.

Interpreting What Isn't Here

When you look through the glass panel, you can see illustrations of three structures. Archaeologist Stanley South interpreted these (from left to right) as a viewing stand, a ceremonial temple and a storage shed.

The 1969 archaeology uncovered rows of round stains in the soil. These stains indicate the individual palisade posts that surrounded this ritual space
