Description

The lands along the Waccamaw River in coastal South Carolina are rich in history. For more than ten thousand years, nomadic Indians moved quietly along the broad floodplains, leaving only faint traces of their existence. In the early 1700's, European settlers carved trails through the wilderness and established a new beginning for their descendants, who would create empires from rice.

Wachesaw Plantation, once the site of two 19th-century rice plantations, is located on the edge of the Waccamaw River near Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Today Wachesaw Plantation is a private residential golf community, but remnants of its past continue to be carefully uncovered. The developers of Wachesaw have managed to capture much of its unique southern heritage through archaeological research and restoration.

The South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina has been conducting in-depth archaelogical studies of the Wachesaw heritage since 1983. Under the guidance of Dr. James. L. Michie, Project Director, the investigations have revealed a near continuous occupation by man for at least 9, 500 years.
