In June and July 2005, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) preformed an intensive cultural resource assessment survey of the 3016.68-acre Hull Island Tract in Camden County, Georgia, on behalf of Hull Island, LLC. The goal of the survey was to locate, identify, delineate, and evaluate all cultural resources within the parcel, including prehistoric and historic archaeological sites, as well as historic structures. The cultural resource assessment survey included a pedestrian inspection combined with systematic shovel testing at 30 and 90-meter intervals. Delineation shovel tests were dug at 10-meter intervals. As a result of the survey, 11 archaeological sites (9CM271-9CM281) were recorded and four archaeological occurrences were documented. Recovered artifacts indicated that the property was occupied from the Late Archaic through Mississippian periods and again in the early 19th through 20th centuries. No standing historic structures were encountered on the subject property. The NRPH eligibility status of the Site’s 9CM271, 9CM272, 9CM273, 9CM277, 9CM278, 9CM279 are undetermined, and each of these will require limited excavation and/or archival research to assist such an evaluation. None of the remaining sites or archaeological occurrences are considered eligible for NRPH inclusion.
