The small scale testing of six archaeological sites during a Cultural Resource Management excavation program on the 2500 acre (1012 ha) Colonel's Island in Glynn County, Georgia provides insight into the nature of the human occupation of the interior areas of the coastal marsh. In this paper I present the data generated by this testing program and develop a hypothetical model that is designed for testing through a more extensive and intensive field program. This model is preliminary in nature, but serves to explain a portion of the overall subsistence-settlement system of the Georgia coast, one that has received little attention in the published literature.
