Subscribers may be interested that Chicora Foundation (Columbia, SC) and
Historic Preservation Consultants (Charleston, SC) have published "A
Survey of Civil War Fortifications in Charleston, Beaufort, Berkeley,
Hampton, and Jasper County, South Carolina." 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. If anyone wishes to purchase a copy please visit our
web site, www.chicora.org for additional information.
