Archaeological investigations at the North End Plantation, Ossabaw Island took place during the winter of 2005. Several of the archaeology project team members participated in an unrelated discovery of a shipwreck on the South End Point of Ossabaw Island in St. Catherine's Sound during that period. This previously unknown and, as yet, unidentified wreck was first discovered by Tracy Dean, who noticed nineteenth century bottle glass and ballast flint on the beach and the wreck site was named in her honor. Additional evidence of the wreck was discovered during several subsequent visits to the site. This brief monograph describes the site discovery and field conditions that were observed in early 2005.
