Before Charles Towne
Native Americans settled here centuries before English colonists founded Charles Towne.
State Parks
The switch to corn-based agriculture during the Mississippian period led to the rise of permanent villages. Since the Native Americans did not leave a written record we rely on archaeological evidence to interpret their lifeways. Burned corn cobs and stone tools indicate their reliance on agriculture. Artifacts like pottery, jewelry and bone tools reflect the daily activities of the inhabitants.
