“…British traders also settled in Georgia seeking partnerships with native peoples to strengthen trade relations and further ease the process of land acquisition. During the later decades of the 17th century, the British were successful in this endeavor to the detriment of the Spanish settlers, and the colony of Georgia was established in 1732 (Campanella 2008, Enscore et al 2014).…”

“…More often, the farmer would just move on to new land and continue the process, creating a transient landscape. This pattern of construction-removal or abandonment-construction for southeast farmers continued through the antebellum period and pushed farmers farther west (Enscore et al 2014, Davis et al 2006, Hart 1967, Schlebecker 1975.…”

“…Slaves were imported to the South from 1619 through 1808 when the slave trade was legally restricted to domestic sources. Over that time, the South had become a society inextricable built on slavery with slaves making up 50% of the population of Virginia and 66% of the population in South Carolina (Conrat and Conrat 1977, "African Americans at Jamestown" 2019, Schlebecker 1975, Clifton 1981, Butler 2019, Enscore et al 2014, CCPL 2019, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation 2020.…”

The Army is tasked with managing the cultural resources on its lands. For installations that contain large numbers of historic farmsteads, meeting these requirements through traditional archaeological approaches entails large investments of personnel, time and organization capital. Through two previous projects, Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) cultural resource management personnel developed a methodology for efficiently identifying the best examples of historic farmstead sites, and also those sites that are least likely to be deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. This report details testing the applicability of the methodology to regions across the country. Regional historic contexts were created to assist in the determination of “typical” farmsteads. The Farmstead/Ranch Eligibility Evaluation Form created by ERDC-CERL researchers was revised to reflect the broader geographic scope and the inclusion of ranches as a property type. The form was then used to test 29 sites at five military installations. The results of the fieldwork show this approach is applicable nationwide, and it can be used to quickly identify basic information about historic farmstead sites that can expedite determinations of eligibility to the National Register.
