Stanley A. South, a research professor and archaeologist with the S.C. Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at USC, is best known for his books on historical archaeology.
But his most recent volume, Archaeology on the Roanoke, deals with the Archaic Period of Native American occupation, as well as the Vincent, Clement, and Gaston pottery-making periods he defined when in 1955 he conducted archaeology on the Gaston Site in the northeastern area of North Carolina.
In that study, he was assisted by his wife, Jewell, and Lewis Binford. This is the definitive report from which Joffre Coe drew his “Gaston Site” chapter in his famous Formative Cultures of the Carolina Piedmont in 1964.
Heavily illustrated, the book is available for $20 from Stephen R. P. David Jr. at the University of North Carolina Research Laboratories of Archaeology, CB No. 3120, Alumni Building, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3120.
