Management Summary
On behalf of Southern Environmental Group, Inc., Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas,
Inc., completed the Archaeological Phase I Identification Survey of the Wyndwater — Phase 6 Tract, Pender
County, North Carolina. This investigation was done in compliance with Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The objectives of this survey were to identify all
archaeological resources within the Area of Potential Effect (APE), evaluate their significance based on the
National Register of Historic Places criteria, and determine the potential effects of the proposed
development.
In a letter dated 12 October 2017, the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) recommended that comprehensive survey be conducted of the
Wynwater development tract. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers defined the project APE as the 2.4 -acre
(1.0 ha) area within the larger development tract. The survey involved a 100 percent pedestrian walkover
and shovel testing at 30 -meter (98.4 -ft) intervals. Shovel tests generally revealed hydric soils throughout
the project area. Standing water is also present in some portions of the tract. No previous or new
archaeological resources were identified within the APE. No further archaeological investigation is
recommended.

Chapter 1. Introduction
On behalf of Southern Environmental Group, Inc., Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas,
Inc., completed the Archaeological Phase I Identification Survey of the Wyndwater — Phase 6 Development
Tract in Pender County, North Carolina (Figure 1.1). This survey was completed on December 15, 2017,
by Mr. Luan Cao, M.S., RPA, Archaeologist, and Ms. Brooke Brilliant, M.A., RPA, Archaeologist, under
the direction of Dawn Reid, M.A., RPA, Principal Investigator. The project tract is located southwest of
206 Cardinal Acres Drive, Hampstead, Pender County, North Carolina. The project Area of Potential
Effect, as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is a 2.4 -acre (1.0 -ha) area within the larger
development tract (Figure 1.2). This investigation was done in compliance with Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The objectives of this survey were to identify all
archaeological resources within the Area of Potential Effects (APE), evaluate their significance based on
the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP) criteria, and determine the potential effects of the proposed
development.

Methods of Investigation
This investigation consisted of four separate tasks: Background Research, Field Investigation,
Laboratory Analysis, and Report Production. Each of these tasks is described below.
Background Research. Background research began with a review of archaeological site forms,
maps, and reports on file at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) in Raleigh, North Carolina, as well as
the Office of Survey and Planning's website (HPOWEB). This review served to identify previously
recorded resources in the project tract and its vicinity, in addition to providing data on the prehistoric and
historical context of the project tract. Background research also included a review of available historic aerial
photographs and maps.
Field Investigations. This archaeological survey was conducted in compliance with or exceeded all
standards established by the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (2017). The field survey consisted
of the excavation of shovel tests at 30 -meter (98.4 -ft) intervals along transects spaced 30 meters (98.4 ft)
apart regardless of potential for archaeological deposits. Excavated shovel tests measured approximately
30 centimeters (5.9 in) in diameter and were excavated to bedrock, the water table, or 10 centimeters (3.9
in) into subsoil. Shovel test fill was screened through 0.25 -inch wire mesh. Details of soils for each shovel
test were recorded in field notebooks. When present, artifacts are collected and placed in plastic bags
I r►c.
Wyndwater — Phase 6 Development Tract 2
Pender County, North Carolina
labeled with the date, field site number, provenience, depth of recovery, and initials of the excavator.
Archaeological resources are delineated with short interval shovel testing and surface inspection.
A site is defined as an area containing one or more artifacts within a 30 -meter (98.4 -ft) or less
diameter of surface exposure or where surface or subsurface cultural features are present. Artifacts and/or
features less than 50 years in age would not be considered a site without a specific research or management
reason. When sites are identified, site settings are photographed with a digital camera and sketch maps are
produced in the field showing the locations of shovel tests and surface finds. The location of each site is
recorded using a Trimble Pathfinder Global Positioning System (GPS) unit and relayed onto project maps.
Site significance is based on the site's ability to contribute to our understanding of past lifeways,
and its subsequent eligibility for listing on the NRNP. Department of Interior regulations (36 CFR Part 60)
established criteria that must be met for an archaeological site or historic resource to be considered
significant, or eligible for the NRHP (Townsend et al. 1993). Under these criteria, a site can be defined as
significant if it retains integrity of "location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and
association" and if it A) is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
pattern of history; B) is associated with the lives of persons significant in the past; C) embodies distinctive
characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or represents work of a master, possesses high
artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual
distinction; or D) has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory.
Archaeological sites are most frequently evaluated pursuant to Criterion D. However, all archaeological
sites can be considered under all four criteria.
The primary goals of this field investigation were to identify archaeological resources and evaluate
their potential research value or significance. Although the determination of the site significance is made
by the SHPO, whenever possible, sufficient data is gathered to allow us to make a significance
recommendation. Sites that exhibit little or no further research potential are recommended not eligible for
the NRHP, and no further investigation is proposed. Sites for which insufficient data could be obtained at
the survey level are considered unassessed and preservation or more in-depth investigation is advocated. It
is rare for ample data to be recovered at the survey level of investigation to definitively determine that a
site meets NRHP eligibility criteria. However, when this occurs, the site is recommended eligible for the
NRNP. Again, preservation of the resource is advocated. If preservation is not possible, mitigation options
(e.g., data recovery) would need to be considered.
Laboratory Analysis. When artifacts are collected, laboratory work begins with washing all
recovered artifacts. A provenience number, based on the context of the artifact (i.e., surface or subsurface),
is assigned to each positive shovel test location or surface collection area. Within each provenience, each
individual artifact or artifact class is then assigned a number. Artifacts are cataloged based on specific
morphological characteristics such as material in the case of prehistoric lithics, and decoration and temper
type in the case of prehistoric ceramics. When diagnostic prehistoric artifacts are recovered, they are
compared to published type descriptions (e.g., Coe 1964; Herbert 2009; Justice 1987; Oliver 1985; Peck
1982; Sassaman 1993, 2002; Ward and Davis, Jr. 1999). Historic artifacts are identified by color, material
of manufacture (e.g., ceramics), type (e.g., slipware), form (e.g., bowl, plate), method of manufacture (e.g.,
molded), period of manufacture (e.g., 1780-1820), and intended function (e.g., tableware). Historic artifacts
with established manufacture date ranges are categorized using Aultman et al. (2016), Brown (1982),
Feldhues (1995), Florida Museum of Natural History (2009), Majewski and O'Brien (1987), Noel Hume
(1969), and South (1977, 2004). Artifact descriptions, counts, and weights are recorded. All diagnostic
and crossmended artifacts are labeled with a solution of Acryloid B-72 and acid -free permanent ink.
When artifacts are collected, a Deed of Gift is sought to transfer ownership of any artifacts
recovered on private property to the State of North Carolina at the conclusion of the project. Once a Deed
�r►c Wyndwater — Phase 6 Development Tract
Pender County, North Carolina
of Gift is obtained, all project related materials, including field notes, artifacts, and project maps, are
prepared for curation based on standards set forth in 36 CFR 79 (Curation of Federally Owned and
Administered Archaeological Collections: Final Rule) and in the OSA Curation guidelines. These
standards and guidelines require that all project -related material be placed in archivally stable storage bags
and boxes. Upon acceptance of the final project report by the SHPO, the project material will be submitted
to OSA for permanent curation. Recovered archaeological remains for which a Deed of Gift cannot be
obtained are returned to the property owner.
Report Production. Report production involved the compilation of all data gathered during the
previous tasks. This document presents the results of the archival research, the field investigation, and
laboratory analysis. The following chapters provide environmental and cultural overviews for the project
area. A discussion of field investigation results follows. Finally, a project summary is presented with
management recommendations, as appropriate.

Environmental Overview
Pender County is located in southeastern North Carolina encompassing 933 square miles (2,416
square km) surrounded by New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, Balden, Sampson, Duplin, Onslow
counties, and the Atlantic Ocean. The project area is located within the Inner Coastal Plain, which is defined
by generally low and flat topography and known for wetlands and pocosins (Figure 2.1). Elevation in the
coastal plain ranges from 660 feet (201 m) above mean sea level (AMSL) to sea level while elevation in
the project area ranges between 25 to 35 feet (7.6 to 10.7 m) AMSL.

Climate
The climate of the project area is subtropical with mild winters and hot, humid summers (Barnhill
1990). The average high summer temperature is 78 degrees Fahrenheit (F). The average winter high
temperature is 48 degrees F. Annual precipitation is approximately 51 inches (129.5 cm).
Geology and Soils
The project area is located within the River Bend Formation, a tertiary period formation defined by
its limestone and calcarenite overlain and intercalated with indurated, sandy, molluscan -mold limestone.
Two soil types were present within the project area, Autreyville Fine Sand (AuB) and Foreston Loam Fine
Sand (Fo) (Figure 2.3 and Table 2.1). Autreyville Fine Sand (AuB) is characterized by being well -drained,
and forms from fluviomarine deposits. It is generally associated with wooded areas and cropland (Barnhill
1990). Foreston Loam Fine Sand (Fo) is characterized by being moderately well drained, forming on
slightly convex interstream divides near shallow drainages from sandy and loamy sediments.

Paleoenvironment
Paleoclimatological research has documented major environmental changes over the last 20,000
years (the time of potential human occupation of the Southeast) including a general warming trend, melting
of the large ice sheets of the Wisconsin glaciation, and an associated rise in sea level. About 12,000 years
ago the ocean was located 50 to 100 miles east of its present position, and the project area was probably
rather unremarkable interriverine Coastal Plain flatwoods. During the last 5,000 years there has been a 400
to 500 year cycle of sea level fluctuations of about two meters (Brooks et al. 1989; Colquhoun et al. 1981).
The general warming trend that led to the melting of glacial ice and the rise in sea level greatly
affected vegetation communities in the Southeast. During the late Wisconsin glacial period, until about
12,000 years ago, boreal forest dominated by pine and spruce covered most of the Southeast.
Approximately 10,000 years ago, a modern, somewhat xeric, forest developed and covered much of the
Southeastern United States (Kuchler 1964; Wharton 1989). As the climate continued to warm, increased
I r►c.
Wyndwater — Phase 6 Development Tract 7
Pender County, North Carolina
moisture augmented the northward advance of the oak -hickory forest (Delcourt 1979). In a study by
Sheehan et al. (1985), palynological evidence suggests that spruce, pine, fir, and hemlock rapidly decreased
in importance between 9,000 and 4,000 years before present (BP). By the mid -Holocene, the oak -hickory
forest was gradually being replaced by a pine dominated woodland (Wharton 1989:12).
From 4,000 years BP to the present, the upland vegetation of the Southeast was characterized by a
thinning of the deciduous forests (Delcourt and Delcourt 1987). Hickory and gums were generally less
important, with alder and ragweed increasing in representation in the palynological record (Delcourt 1979;
Sheehan et al. 1985). This forest thinning suggests an increase in human related landscape modifications
(i.e., timbering, farming). Similarly, the importance and overall increase in pine species in the forest during
this time would have depended on several factors, including fire, land clearing, and soil erosion (Plummer
1975; Sheldon 1983). Since that time, the general climatic trend in the Southeast has been toward slightly
cooler and moister conditions, leading to the development of the present Southern Mixed Hardwood Forest
as defined by Quarterman and Keever (1962).
Faunal communities have also changed dramatically over time. A number of large mammal species
(e.g., mammoth, mastodon, horse, camel, giant sloth) became extinct toward the end of the glacial period
12,000 to 10,000 years ago. Human groups, which for subsistence had focused on hunting these large
mammals, readapted their strategy to exploitation of smaller mammals, primarily deer in the Southeast.
Cultural Overview
The following discussion summarizes the various occupations in southeastern North Carolina,
emphasizing technological change, settlement, and site function throughout prehistory.
Paleoindian Period (12,000 — 8,000 BC)
Until recently, there was a general consensus among archaeologists that bands of hunter -gatherers
arrived in North America approximately 12,000 years ago. The Native Americans are thought to have
arrived in North America by crossing a land bridge linking Siberia to the North American continent (Driver
1998; Jackson et al. 1997). However, there seems to be growing evidence that Native American ancestors
may have arrived much earlier. Recent discoveries such as Kennewick Man and the Gordon Creek Woman,
whose remains were found in Washington and Colorado, respectively, have been found to be between I I -
12,000 years old (Morell 1998; Preston 1997; Slayman 1997; Swedlund and Anderson 1999). Additional
fuel for this controversy is supplied by the Monte Verde site in South America, which has been dated to
approximately 12,500 years ago (Dillehay 1997; Meltzer et al. 1997). In South Carolina, work by Albert
Goodyear at the Topper site in Aiken County yielded radiocarbon dates suggesting the site may have been
occupied between 20-50,000 years ago (Goodyear 2005). However, debate continues about the validity of
the early arrival of humans in North America.
The major artifact marker for this period is the Clovis lanceolate fluted spear point (Gardner 1974,
1989; Griffin 1967). Smaller fluted and nonfluted lanceolate spear points, such as Dalton and Hardaway
point types, are characteristic of the later portion of the period (Goodyear 1982). The Hardaway point, first
described by Coe (1964), is seen as a regional variant of Dalton (Oliver 1985; Ward 1983). Perkinson
(1971, 1973) recorded Paleoindian fluted points in North Carolina. The Piedmont of North Carolina
appears to have been more intensively occupied than the Coastal Plain by Paleoindian peoples. This is in
contrast to distribution studies in South Carolina, which show more fluted points in the Coastal Plain than
in the Piedmont (Goodyear et al. 1989). Stoltman (1965) mapped the occurrence of fluted point finds in
the eastern United States and noted that these had a high correlation with reports of extinct mastodon finds
in the region. They concluded that Paleoindian hunters were focusing on mastodon. Other researchers
(Anderson and Joseph 1988; Michie 1977) have noted that fluted points are most common near major rivers
I r►c.
Wyndwater — Phase 6 Development Tract 8
Pender County, North Carolina
at areas where river valleys are constricted providing ease in fording the waterways, such as the Fall Line
Zone (where mastodon and other Pleistocene game animals would be concentrated).
Most Paleoindian materials occur as isolated surface finds in the eastern United States; this
indicates to many scholars that population density was extremely low during this period, and that groups
were small and highly mobile (Meltzer 1988). It has been noted that group movements were probably well
scheduled, and that some semblance of territories was probably maintained to ensure adequate
arrangements for procuring mates and maintaining population levels (Anderson and Hanson 1988). O'Steen
et al. (1986) analyzed Paleoindian settlement patterns in the Oconee River Valley in northeastern Georgia.
O'Steen et al. (1986) noted a pattern of decreasing mobility throughout the Paleoindian period. Sites of the
earliest portion of the period seem to be restricted to the flood plains, while later sites were distributed
widely in the uplands, showing what O'Steen, et al. (1986) interpreted as "settling in" and exploitation of a
wider range of environmental subsistence resources. If this pattern holds true for the Southeast in general,
it may be a result of changing environments trending toward increased deciduous forest and small mammal
resources, and decreasing availability of Pleistocene megafauna; population growth could be another factor.
Archaic Period (8,000 —1,000 BC)
The Archaic period has been the focus of considerable research in the Southeast. However, for the
Coastal area of North Carolina, much data are still needed to refine the chronology and gain a better
understanding of subsistence strategies and site size and function of Archaic time period. Most of what is
known of this time period comes from surface collections (Ward and Davis 1999). The chronological
sequence defined by Coe (1964) for the Archaic North Carolina Piedmont is applicable to the Coast and
Coastal Plain.
Early Archaic (8,000 - 6,000 BC). The Early Archaic period is marked by a shift from a boreal
forest to more northern hardwoods. Southern pines became the dominant species as the Oak -Hickory forest
retreated to the Piedmont (Delcourt and Delcourt 1981; Delcourt and Delcourt 1985). Site types are
generally of two types: base camps at stream confluences and small temporary procurement sites located in
areas with seasonally variable resources (Phelps 1981, 1983; Ward and Davis 1999). The smaller temporary
procurement camps and the larger base camps are found at a ratio of ten to one (Ward and Davis 1999).
Palmer and Kirk corner -notched spear points are diagnostic of the time period.
Middle Archaic (6,000 -3,000 BC). Settlement and subsistence strategy remained constant through
the Middle Archaic, although there is a noted increase in site frequency (Ward and Davis 1999). Stanly
Stemmed, Morrow Mountain Stemmed, and Guilford Lanceolate spear points are the primary diagnostic
artifacts of this time period. Morrow Mountain and Guilford phases are believed to have been introduced
from the west (Coe 1964). Phelps (1964) referred to this as the "Western Intrusive horizon." Halifax
projectile points have also been found in the north Coastal Plain of North Carolina. These points date to
approximately 4000 BC and were introduced from peoples living to the north (Coe 1964).
Late Archaic (3,000 - 1,000 BC). This time period marks a shift of settlements from upland
tributary streams to the mouths of major rivers. This shift allowed native peoples to include marine and
estuarine resources in their diet. The predominant spear type of the Late Archaic is the Savannah River
spear point. Fiber tempered ceramics appear in the southern Coast and Coastal Plain, although a few sherds
have been found as far north as the Tar River drainages (Ward and Davis 1999). These ceramics are related
to early pottery found in South Carolina and Georgia. Sand tempered Thoms Creek wares are also found
in the southern Coastal region, but tend to be limited to Brunswick and New Hanover counties (Ward and
Davis 1999).

Wyndwater — Phase 6 Development Tract 9
Pender County, North Carolina
Woodland Period (1,000 BC - 1584 AD)
Early Woodland (1,500 - 200 BC). Along the North Carolina coast, Early Woodland sites consist
of shell middens near tidal marshes and ceramic and/or lithic scatters in different environmental zones. Site
type categories established by Trinkley (1990) for this portion of the state include seasonal camps located
in upland settings at springs or stream confluences, small seasonal campsites located on swamp edges, and
large semipermanent camps on swamp edges. Site location patterns suggest a dispersed, highly mobile
lifeway that continued from the Late Archaic into the Woodland. Two ceramic types are associated with
the Early Woodland along the southern coast of North Carolina. New River ceramics are coarse sand
tempered and exhibit surface treatments that are dominated by cord marking, but also include fabric
impressing, net impressing, and simple stamping (Loftfield 1975; Mathis 1999; Ward and Davis 1999).
Hamps Landing ceramics are characterized by limestone or marl temper and have plain, faint thong marked,
cord marked, fabric impressed, and simple stamped surfaces (Ward and Davis 1999).
Middle Woodland (200 BC - AD 1000). Sites dating to this period include small single house shell
middens, more significant shell middens, and shell -less sites in the interior that vary in size and artifact
density. Trinkley (1990) notes that the site types from Early Woodland continue into the Middle Woodland
but with the addition of sand burial mounds. The low, sand burial mounds have been identified at several
archaeological sites in the region. Estuarine resources made a significant contribution to the subsistence of
Middle Woodland peoples (Drucker and Jackson 1984; Espenshade and Brockington 1989; Trinkley 1976,
1980). The two ceramic series associated with the Middle Woodland in the southern coastal plain are the
grog tempered Hanover wares and the sand tempered Cape Fear wares. Hanover wares are typically cord
marked or fabric impressed (Ward and Davis 1999). Cape Fear have similar decorations, although South
(1976) observed rare net impressing on these wares (Ward and Davis 1999).
Late Woodland (AD 1000 - 1584). Sand burials continued to be used during the Late Woodland
with burials generally being secondary and bundled. Cremations or charred remains are common (Jones et
al. 1997). House structures include both circular and rectangular outlines but it is unclear whether the two
house styles indicate seasonal differences or the presence of Algonquin speakers in the area (Loftfield 1990;
Mathis 1995). The Late Woodland in the southern Coastal Plain of North Carolina is characterized by the
White Oak Phase. South (1976), working in Brunswick and New Hanover Counties, described the "Oak
Island" series as being shell tempered pottery that included cord marked, net impressed, fabric impressed,
and plain surface treatments. Working near the White Oak River, South (1962) identified shell tempered
fabric impressed sherds which he defined as White Oak fabric impressed. Loftfield (1976) expanded the
definition of White Oak to include simple stamped and smoothed surfaces based on work conducted in
Onslow and Carteret County. Few researchers, today, distinguish between South's "Oak Island" and
Loftfield's "White Oak" ceramic series (Ward and Davis 1999). However, it is believed by some that many
of the shell tempered Oak Island sherds identified by South (1976) are actually limestone tempered and part
of the Early Woodland Hamps Landing series, and that the term White Oak should be used to define the
shell tempered Oak Island ceramics (Ward and Davis 1999).
Brief Historic Context of Pender County
Pender County was established in 1875 from the northern portion of New Hanover County (Corbitt
2000) in response to dissatisfaction with the corruption in Wilmington (Pender County Government 2017).
Burgaw was chartered as the county seat in 1879 (Corbitt 2000). In the early twentieth century, agricultural
production was key to the county's economy. Cotton and corn were the main crops, with peanuts also
playing an important role. Tobacco was grown in small quantities. The railways provided excellent
transportation for locally grown truck crops, with Baltimore, Washington D.C., New York, and Philadelphia
beine kev market areas.

Wyndwater — Phase 6 Development Tract 10
Pender County, North Carolina
The population of Pender County was 15,471 residents in 1910. There were 1,938 farms in Pender
County in 1910, with the average farm size being 134.6 acres (54.5 ha). At this time, 85 percent (1,637) of
the farms were operated by their owners. While most of the remainder of the farms were operated under
the tenant farmer system. Farm labor was mostly African American, but two factors made farm labor
scarce. First, laborers were moving to cities for factory jobs. Second, many laborers were working in the
booming timber industry, where wages were greater than that from farming
During the Great Depression, one of the New Deal programs involved the resettlement of farmers
who were unable to support themselves on what had become severely eroded and nutrient poor land. This
resettlement was intended to create self-sufficient rural communities and to provide poor and unemployed
farmers with housing and cultivatable land. The Penderlea Homestead was established in northwestern
Pender County. Driven by Hugh McRae, who was a wealthy Wilmington developer at the time, the
Penderlea colony consisted of a community center with a school, library, and workshop, and a series of 10
acre (4.0 ha) farm plots suitable for truck farming. Each of these plots were to include a house with
electricity and running water, a barn, poultry and hog houses, a corn crib, and a smokehouse. By 1934,
1,500 acres (607.0 ha) had been cleared and 10 of these homesteads had been built. The homesteaders were
provided with livestock and feed, seed, and fertilizer in exchange for payments. The project put over 2,000
people to work during construction, many of whom were farmers who hired others to work their 10 -acre
(4.0 ha) plots. In 1938, construction of the planned community came to an end, throwing many out of work.
However, by that time, the local hosiery mill, which was owned by the homesteaders, was in full operation
and it became the primary employer in the Penderlea vicinity. With the coming of World War II, hosiery
was replaced by parachutes. By 1949, the Federal government had withdrawn its support from the
Penderlea community. Many of the 10 -acre (4.0 -ha) plots were subsequently consolidated and the houses
moved to allow for larger farms, which were then auctioned off. The community had transitioned from a
cooperative project to an independent community (Conkin 1959; Cottle 2006).
The outbreak of World War II and the establishment of Camp Lejeune in neighboring Onslow
County brought about the most important change in Pender and surrounding counties during the twentieth
century. Camp Lejeune became operational in 1941. The construction of the base changed the
demographics of the county as increasing numbers of single men and young families moved into the area.
Camp Lejeune grew to be the largest Marine Corps training base in the country, covering 151,000 acres
(61,107.5 ha) in Onslow County.
Today, Pender County has over 52,000 residents. It encompasses 933 square miles, with about 7
percent being open water. The county's economy is driven largely by farming and manufacturing, as well
as tourism. Topsail Island is one of the state's most popular beach destinations, and the various rivers and
the Intracoastal Waterway attract visitors to the area (Pender County Government 2017).

Background Research
Archaeological background research was conducted at the North Carolina site files located at the
Office of State Archaeology (OSA) in Raleigh. No previously recorded sites are present in the project tract
(Figure 3.1). A total of five previously recorded archaeological sites were identified within a 1.6 -kilometer
(1 -mile) radius of the project area (Table 3.1).

The Office of Survey and Planning's website (HPOWEB) shows no recorded historic resources
within a 1.6 -kilometer (1 -mile) radius of the Area of Potential Effect (APE). A review of historic aerial
photographs shows that the project area was wooded since 1969 prior to recent deforestation in 2017 for
the Wyndwater — Phase 6 residential development. Review of historic maps including the 1942 1:24,000
topographic map, the 1912 Soil Map of Pender County (Figure 3.2), North Carolina (Hearn et al.), and 1938
Pender County Highway Map (NCSHPWC 1938; Figure 3.3) also indicate that there were no developments
within the project area.

Archaeological Survey Results
The archaeological survey APE, as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is a 2.4 -acre (1.0 -ha)
area located in the southeast half of the Wyndwater - Phase 6 development tract. The APE is partially
wooded with recent deforestation related to the Wyndwater - Phase 6 development (Figure 3.4). A 30 -
meter (98.4 -ft) grid of 24 shovel tests was established within the APE (Figure 3.5; Table 3.2). Three shovel
test locations were submerged at the surface and were not excavated. Several of the remaining shovel tests
were hydric or encountered the water table at shallow depths (Figure 3.6). The shovel tests located along
the southeastern boundary of the APE contained the most well drained soils (Figure 3.7). In general, the
excavated soil profiles tended to be more poorly drained than those described in the USDA soil survey for
the area (USDA 2017). All shovel tests were negative for artifacts and cultural features.
Recommendations
The archaeological survey of the Wyndwater - Phase 6 APE identified no previously recorded or
new archaeological resources. No further archaeological investigation is recommended.
